RoAtemra storage

[Benjiesmum]

I took my pre filled pen out of the fridge last night and then completely forgot about it.I really don't want to waste resources when the nhs is struggling so would it be okay to take now?I'm such a twit sometimes all these medications are addling my poor brain!

According to the leaflet in the box you have 8 hours to use it. There will be a healthy margin of safety, so I guess depends what time you took it out!

Thanks for your reply I decided got risk it. I'm also titrating own from prednisone after almost three years so m joints were not happy. I'm still here to tell the tale so hopefully will e fine.

Unlikely to be dangerous, just not as effective!

[Benjiesmum in reply to helixhelix]

Thank you yes that makes sense!

Benepali is ok out of refrigeration (below 25 degrees) for up to two weeks. Helix helix seems to have better information. Most drug data sheets are available online, you could check that…

Thanks for your reply, I took it anyway and it seems fine my joints have stopped their march towards each other. I won't make that mistake again!

Every box should have a patient leaflet in it. I was surprised tho’ as just about to start RoActemra next week. And having been on Enbrel which is ok for even longer this will affect our plans for October holiday! So v glad to know now..
