Here's your answer: Ampuls: Store in refrigerator, 2ºC-8°C (36°F-46°F). Protect from light. Administer only if solution is clear and colorless. The major clue is if the solution is clear and colorless. And try to keep on refrigeration and covered from light sources if left out.
Parenteral drug products (methergine) should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration.
Ampuls are of hemabate.
