I have refrigerated my gonal-f because it came cold but on the paper that came with it that told how to use the pen it said you can refrigerate or room temp so Im confused about it. I wish I knew!

i was told to refrigerate the gonal f , i could store at room temp but only for 30 days. it wouldnt be good after that. They told me the menopur doesnt need refrigeration, so mine is being stored room temp. i have no answer on if its bad to refrigerate the menopur, sorry
I actually just asked the opposite question of my RE yesterday. My pharmacist said nothing needed to be refrigerated and I was freaking out about it b/c it seemed like it should. Anyways, my RE said that the only thing that would be very bad is if the meds freeze. If they are too warm then it won't effect the potency, but bacteria can grow in them if they are contaminated. I think that refrigerating them is the safe way to go so I don't think that there is anything wrong with that, but you may want to discuss with your RE and/or pharmacist to be safe.

Re: Do you refrigerate menopur and gonal-f?
Hypothetically- if i've had the menpur in the refrigerater do you think it is a problem?
LOL! Hypothetically, I think it's OK, but we'll see what the other ladies say.
lol
I am honestly not sure. Definitely ask your nurse asap!
