Freaking out! Lupron...refrigerate after opening?

I just noticed that in tiny print on the side of the box of lupron it says refrigerate after opening.

I have been doing the injection for a week and I did not put it in the fridge!

Did you guys refrigerate lupron? It's the generic (leuprolide acetate) if that matters.

From what I remember , I "think" it just extends the shelf life if its refrigerated but chances are you will either use it all or be done with it before it expires at room temp....

Here's a link I found..

I never refridgerated lupron. I received it about 3 days before stimming and I'm stimming for 8 days now. I don't expect to save any for next time. It sits in my closet all day long. So far, I have been responding well to the dosage so obviously my meds are working.
