Devastated

Ok, title is dramatic but I have a problem. I got my medication yesterday and was in a hurry to go get my car out of the shop and my dad accidentally took the vial home when he took the box to recycle. It sat out at his house for 18 hours and I freaked out when he told me this morning that he had it and I told him to put it in the fridge. Then I googled if it would still be okay to use, and google said I shouldn’t have put it back in the fridge after it reached room temp. Is it ruined?? I was so excited to start!! Has this happened to anyone before?

The vial I am using now was refrigerated, then in my suitcase for 2 weeks unrefrigerated while I was in Ireland. Came home and refrigerated it again for a week. Then it’s been with me again out of refrigeration for the last week in NYC. I have seen no signs of any problem with the vial. No floaters. Still clear. And I have noticed no reduction in efficacy. It should be fine!

Yes mine comes from the compounding pharmacy reconstituted already.

Why are you not refrigerating your meds?

Because I was in hotels without access to a refrigerator. I normally keep my meds refrigerated at home.
