My pharmacist says you don't have to, they just keep it in there before dispensing it.

I was told to keep it in the fridge until I start using the new one, after that keep it at room temperature.

I keep mine in the fridge until I start using it. Once I use it I don’t.

Hi,I was told to keep it in the fridge until ready to use it, by the pharmacist, and then can keep just at room temperature once it’s been used.

The issue is the shelf life. The pharmacist has to keep it in the fridge because s/he doesn't know when it will be dispensed. Under normal use, the shelf life will not expire before you finish the last dose at room temperature so, as soon as you open it, you can keep it unrefrigerated. However if, like CANINE12 , you have a spare one, then you should keep the spare in the fridge until needed.

I have a fostairnexthaler and it says it is not subject to temperatures so can be kept in a normal environment. Does it mention storage on the notes that came with it? x
