Out of date Interferon

I discovered that my Intron A interferon was 3 months out of date when I went to give myself my jab last night. Does anyone know if this is dangerous? Thanks Mel x

You should get some advice on this from your local pharmacist or phone your haematologist for their advice. Maz

Thanks Maz. I have left a message for my heamatologist who is away until Thursday and the pharmacist is looking into it and the manufacturer is getting back to them within a few days. Mel x

Hi again Mel, advice from Professor Harrison is that you should not use the out of date interferon. Maz
