Re: INFO - Acceptable duration of room-temperature storage for medications labeled for refrigeration

[Guest guest]

This is very interesting. It says that Enbrel powder, which is what I

use since I have to mix it myself, can be left at room temperature for

seven days!

That means that when I travel, I don't have to worry that I'm not

keeping it cold enough. That's a relief, because sometimes it is hard

to keep it cold all day long.

Thanks, .

Thanks for the info, !  As a Gulf Coast resident, I was not sure I had a

plan about what to do with my Enbrel if we lost power during for several days

during a hurricane or tropical storm.  At least, I should be able to get some

ice after a couple of days if that were to happen.  (We would, of course,

evacuate if a serious storrm was headed toward us.  We are pretty far inland.)
