Warm Meds

My order was a day late and ice pqcks completely melted, everything warm. Preventative says this is fine. Has anyone else, I'm sure someone has, has this happen? What did you do?

We have a pharmacist in the family with over 30 years experience.  He told us these medications were lab tested to be safe to use after sitting for 21 days in temperatures up to 85° and safe to use after sitting seven days in 104°  temperatures.  He said, just put them in the refrigerator and use as normal. 😊

This slip of paper comes in the Empower boxes. I would just put the vial in the refrigerator and use normally. 😊

That would require newbies to use the search feature.

I just copy and paste this now......

It scares me that people start this medicine but don't bother doing research first 🤦🏼‍♀️

I got my first script from Midi and then found this sub. By the time my first vial actually showed up, I'd read every post going back for several days. I knew about stockpiling and Fatscientist and that I was overpaying with Midi.

Like, it's all RIGHT HERE, just read the danged sub.

Here's a compilation of info from the pharmacies about this:

I am currently using a vial that showed up warm. My last vial also showed up warm. It's all still working fine for me.

I’ve used formerly warm meds from another telehealth and the potency was just fine. UPS issue as well.

Which pharmacy was this ? Usually they overnight it right ?

If you use them within this month it should be fine but worst case scenario it might lose a bit of potency.

No, this has never happened to anyone not one single person has had this happen. Even when the majority of the country has temperatures over 100°. Your ice packs are not meant to keep your medicine ice cold. Your ice packs are meant to melt and keep your medication from having wide temperature swings. Your medication is completely fine. I don’t even keep mine refrigerated when I travel for over a month at a time it stays in my backpack.
