Does it say on the package? i remember mine did but some people said you didnt have to. You can call the Pharmacy or your Dr to double check

Re: Follistim

The meds I was using for the current cycle were left at room temperature. The meds I didn't use and ended up donating were in the fridge.

called the pharm...they can only be left out of the fridge for 3 months else they need to be refrigerated...i never refrigerated these meds - i found out bc i'm at a different practice and she told me they should be in the fridge
SOOO basically all of the donated meds I got i'm not able to use...good to know if you are getting donated meds to find out when that person got them.
thanks ladies, just something else OOP i wasn't expecting ;-/

I thought open meds do better if kept cold unless used within 30 days. I kept cold

edit: actuall unopened Gonal F should be kept cold, all others I believe if closed can be left out.

I always called the company its self

They weren't opened meaning used at all. Not sure what you mean by closed hmm?

We are calling tomorrow but the instructions say refrigerate.

unopened meaning not used or opened to draw meds from.

closed means the same, never used to draw meds from so still sealed.
