methotrexate injections and heatwaves

[snotts]

I read a suggestion to put metoject in the fridge for the next few days so thought I would pass it on. Stay cool and well everyone!

Where was the suggestion if you don’t mind me asking? It does say that it has to be stored below 25degs but doesn’t say how cold it can be kept 😬Thanks 🙏

There was a thread about this recently 😁healthunlocked.com/nras/pos...

Thanks 😊

I heard this, too. Sadly, I have a useless fridge that doesn’t regulate well & freezes the salad (we rent a lovely flat, but these are the many pitfalls of having to rent). So, I’ve put a couple of cold blocks in a cool bag and my MTX injection pens are in there. Crossing my fingers it works - I thought it would be a decent idea?

Peacox, I'd suggest popping a tea towel or something similar between the injections and the cold blocks if they're frozen so you don't run the risk of the injections making direct contact with the frozen surface. Letting injections return to room temperature before injecting leads to a more comfortable experience.
