Correct answer: C — Follow the product label, as some require fridge storage and others room temperature

Storage requirements vary by preparation and must be followed to maintain stability. In this vignette, "Follow the product label, as some require fridge storage and others room temperature" is the safest single best answer. The other options are less appropriate because they miss the key clinical risk, conflict with UK medicines guidance, or delay needed review.
