Urgent- Thyrogen in the fridge?

[Guest guest]

Hello, hope someone is out there right now!

My endo gave me my thyrogen, but in the stress I was forgetting what

to do with it! Do I need to keep it in the fridge? I was unable to

reach my doctor on the phone and the farmacy is closed for lunch

already .

Sofi,

You did the right thing. I called genzyme and found out that Thyrogen

needs to be stored at between 2-8 degrees Celsius (36-48 degrees

Farenheit) - the temperature in your fridge.

Wishing you an easy Thyrogen experience and a clean scan~!
