I accidentally re chilled my embark injection

[Abbinash]

Ok I'm on vacation my travel cooler wasn't frozen I'm guessing anyway my enbrel injection was above 40 f I wasn't thinking and put it back in the fridge after getting in the motel is it still good

[Abbinash]

I am sorry this should read Inbrel injection

[Mandalou]

Sorry Abinash,

Enbrel can stay un refrigerated for up to a month if the temperature hasn't gone over 25degs.

Once Enbrel has gone over that in temperature ( as you say about 40degs) not only should it not be re chilled but shouldn't be used anyway.

Sorry, it's not worth taking now, you will have to go without while you are on holiday.

Hi Abbinash, I think, to be on the safe side, I wouldn't use it. Increase your pain meds, if you have to and start taking it again as soon as you're home again. If you've been on it for a while it should be in your system long enough for you still to have a great holiday and not see any difference. I say that because I had to stop my Enbrel as I had shingles and it was a couple of weeks before I noticed a huge difference ......though my shingles rash was a great diversion!

You enjoy yourself!

Luv, Legs X

Just a heads up...

Do be clear when referring to Fahrenheit or Celsius.

My brain fog is cloudy enough with out having to work out which is which.

Wishing you all a warm November.

Keep posting.

Yes that is why I put an f after the 40 because I seen so 25 dec on here and I know it says not to freeze and 32 f is freezing but any way I thank you for commenting you have a blessed warm November also

I agree with Mandalou .

I travel a lot and found out not all hotels have fridges, my pharmacists said to carry zip lock bags and ask for ice. This has worked very well over the years. I should add my cool box has a thermometer to check on at all times. I have found ice in zip lock bags works far better than cold packs.

Thank you for tip I have travel kit for my injections but our 7 hour trip turned in an overnight out of the way nothing around trip in Asheville NC so the as soon as to got to where I could get it in the fridge I wasn't thinking and put it back in

I'm sorry and I know it's frustrating but you cannot use it. My humira injections froze when my fridge malfunctioned and my rheum nurse said that the licence states it's not effective and may not be safe if it's not within the normal temperate range.
