Left IVF meds unrefridgerated. Are they okay?

Hello, I put the remainder of my cetrotide, Gonal F and my ovidral shot in a refrigerator that was not plugged in, for about 12 hours. Do you think that they are okay?

I'm not sure about all of those - you should probably call the pharmacist to check.

I would call the pharmacy. If memory serves me cetrotide does not have to be refrigerated so you would be okay there. However, the gonal F & the ovidrel I would be more concerned with.

I agree with Rachel.  I would be worried about the gonal and the ovidrel as both need to stay refrigerated.

I agree you should ask someone who is paid to know for sure.  No point doing a cycle with drugs that don't work.  FWIW, the instructions that came with my Ovidrel said that it can remain unrefrigerated for 30 days before use by patient.  GL!

Okay, thank you.i am waiting for the pharmacist to be in. Only one more hours. I am in Costa Rica and am worried about being able to find more meds in the area I am in.
