Xtandi got cold overnight

My bottle of Xtandi fell out of my luggage and was exposed to freezing temperatures for about 12-14 hours. Is it still safe or effective?

Call the pharmacy that you procured your xtandi and speak with a pharmacist.

As already suggested, I'd call the pharmacist (Sonexus in my case). I can say, living in Fla., when they ship it they often include cold packs in the shipping package so I would expect cold is probably ok versus heat.

According to the Specialty Pharmacist at the University of Rochester Medical Center in Rochester, NY, it was no problem at all when the delivery person left my Xtandi in a snow bank overnight. He said cold was not a problem, only heat.

My confidence in that answer is about 5 since he also thought it was OK to save money by shipping standard FedEx, in a clear plastic bag, rather than as medicine. SMH

For sure call the pharm, maybe choose other wording rather than safe and effective

Hi All,

I checked with CVS Specialties and the Pharmacists told me that Xtandi has been tested and left for 48 hours at -4F with no loss of effectiveness. DISCLAIMER! Please NOTE: I am just reporting what I was told and anyone who has a similar issue should do their OWN research. Thanks to everyone who contributed to this conversation. My Best, Jim
