What are the effects of Bacteriostatic Sodium Chloride (Saline) if left in the heat for an extended period of time?

p0421Jul 7, 2018
If Bacteriostatic Sodium Chloride (Saline) was left in the heat for about 10 hours is it still safe to reconstitute with a Botox? What may occur to the product being left in the heat for so long and what effects would it have on the Botox if reconstituted or the patient?
