Melting Pessaries

I live in a top floor flat that is a sauna during the summer. I went to put a pessaries in this evening and it was too melted to use. The next one I opened (the rest were stored in a slightly cooler room) was soft but OK.

Can I store them in the fridge? Will the rest of them that were slightly melty be OK or will the heat have reduced the active ingredients? Just spent £70+ for a delivery of them on Friday so really don't want yo replace but don't want to waste time using them if they are no longer any good. Any advice would be great. Thank you.

Hi London Lady1. I am pretty sure I put mine in the fridge on IVF 1. Double check with your clinic first and ask them if they think it has impacted the quality. Good luck.

Thank you. Just contacted the clinic to see what they say. Hopefully its a yes to fridge so I don't have to worry about it happening again!

She did recommend taking them out 30 mins before using for personal comfort

Glad you got your answer! My cyclogest arrived this time with instructions to store in fridge on pharmacy label which has never said when ive had them in past. The leaflet said below 25 degrees so i have kept them out but thought if weather gets warm i will put them in fridge. Im up north so its not quite as warm here at the moment! Oh the things we have to think about on this journey! Good job none of us are having many visitors at the moment. Imagine a friend opening the fridge to see our pessaries stored next to the butter... 😄 xx
