Its good for 3 days a room temp, 14 days in the fridge and 6 months frozen. Thats whats on my script label.
I have one that leaked a month ago in the fridge and it is bright red now. Probably not a good sign.
I can not imagine why yours would be different. Best double check with them though.
I am not a doc or nurse, just giving you my opinion and experience as a patient.

Mine turned when it was left outside my door by the delivery co. and it wasn't refrigerated for days.
Any turning of color should not be used is what I was told. However, mine came pre-mixed.

When my husband was doing Rocephin (also pre-mixed), one bag turned a rusty-red. The instructions said not to use if there was a significant color change. I called the infusion company; they said it was probably alright to use, but that they understood if we were uncomfortable doing so, and they replaced it at no cost.
Our company sends a week's worth of meds at a time.
I would call the company and ask about the color change; perhaps consider requestingthat they ship smaller amounts more frequently?
