Re: GH left out of refrigerator ARRGH!

[Guest guest]

I don't know what the practice is elsewhere but we have been told that here in

Japan that it is OK if it is left out for up to around 24 hours - but obviously

it depends on how hot the weather is at the time. That is less concerning than

letting the GH get too cold or near frozen as I understand it would then become

ineffective. I know it is worrying to miss shots although I would imagine that

even the most dilligent of us miss a few a year. I would be tempted to assume

you can still use it but if you had another vile of GH that you could use in the

meantime until your own Endo responds I guess you might feel more comfortable.

We use Norditropin too.

GH left out of refrigerator ARRGH!

Question.. I am waiting to hear back from our Endo nurse but I thought

that I would ask the GH family experts. Somehow, Madeline's GH was

left out of the refrigerator for approximately 24 hrs. I found this

out last night when I got back into town and was going to give

Madeline her shot. I did NOT give her the shot because I was not sure

if the GH was damaged.. I put it back in the refrigerator and ended up

skipping her last night shot.. Has anyone ever done this before? Do

we need to replace this vile of GH?... We have never missed a shot

before and this is driving me crazy! We are using Norditropin. thank

you in advance for your help.

Thank you Debi! - I ended up calling Novo Nordisk and asking their

advice - they said that although they can not recommend the use of

the gh after it has sat out - they have however done testing that

shows that it does stay stable over a 24 hr time... Then the nurse

called from the Endo clinic and she said that as long as it is not

cloudy and looks to be in good condition - we could use it.. SOOO i

gave Madeline her shot this morning and we will resume our normal

evening shots without missing a dose... Thank you for your advice -

It was nice to hear that you felt the same way!
