adalimumab out of fridge

[Skydondon]

my daughter is in Bali with her adalimumab but there was a 2 hr power cut. Fridge temperature was too high. Can she continue to keep it in fridge and continue to use it? Is there a time frame?

On the info sheet that comes with my Amgevita ( Adalimumab) it says " a single pre -filled pen may be stored at temperatures up to a maximum of 25° for a period up to 14 days " Hope this helps.I'm sure I've heard somewhere not to put it back in the fridge

Hi Skydondon, per humira(adalimumab)site (FAQs):Can I put my HUMIRA Pen or prefilled syringe back in the refrigerator after I’ve already taken it out and allowed it to reach room temperature?Once your HUMIRA Pen or prefilled syringe has reached room temperature, it must be used within 14 days even if it is put back in the refrigerator. HUMIRA that has reached room temperature must be discarded if it is not used within the 14-day period.

she should look at the leaflet that is with her specific pen as there are slight differences between drugs. It should give storage instructions

You can Google Patient Information Leaflet for just about any drug. All the important information is out there if you need it.

Thanks we have the leaflet I was just wondering if there were exceptions. But there don’t seem to be.

Yes , this happened to me, once its been out of the so called “cold chain” you can keep using for up to 2 weeks as long as you keep it chilled again

If you are traveling or not able to keep your Humira (adalimumab) in the refrigerator, you can store it at room temperature up to a maximum of 77 degrees F (25 degrees C) for a period of up to 14 days. Throw away your Humira if it has been kept at room temperature and not used within the 14 day period.13
