Infertility

have you ever left Lupron out of fridge? Was it ok?

I'm so mad at myself.  I left it out for almost 2 hours last night after I used it.  All I can think about is how my nurse kept telling me I MUST keep it refrigerated, especially after it's opened.  I called and left a message about it.  Now I'm worried that the quality of the Lupron has been affected.  Anyone know??

  • You should be fine.

    When I first got my Lupron it wasn't in a cold pack so I didn't know it needed to be in the fridge. It was in my medicine cabinet for a few days before I asked my nurse about it. She said to move it to the fridge but it was still good to use. I'm sure the few hours it was out didn't do any damage :)

    According to my pharmacist, Lupron doesn't have to be refrigerated until it's opened... that's why it doesn't come cold. 

    and YGPM, btw.

  • my pharmacist said once it was opened it should go in the fridge. However, I think I left out every med at one point in time and I was always told it was totally fine.

    GL:)

  • My nurse did not say anything about keeping Lupron in the fridge so I haven't been! Now I'm nervous, is it supposed to be refrigerated??

  • The only thing I kept refrigerated was the Follistim and Ovidrel.....I just stored the lupron in our guest bathroom.

  • I have never refrigerated my Lupron and it's never been an issue. 

    My handbook from CVS/Caremark Mail Order Pharmacy didn't say anything about Lupron needing to be refrigerated (and it provides a list for all meds and their storage) so I don't think it's an issue... 

  • Thank you, everyone, for the reassurance.  The IVF nurse called back and said not to worry and that it was okay.  She said technically it only needs to be stored below 77 degrees, but they like us to keep it in the fridge.  I can relax now! :)
  • I didn't refrigerate mine???
  • I haven't been either. I started it a little over a week ago and have kept it out. Wondering if it has hurt my meds? UGH.
