Adalimumab and broken fridge

4 replies

I have been away for a few days and have returned to a fridge on the blink. It’s not completely broken down (yet) but definitely feels warmer than it should be. The new fridge should be arriving tomorrow but I have 6 weeks supply of Adalimumab injections in the current one. I know it will be ok if used within 14 days but that doesn’t solve the problem of the ones for the 4 weeks after that. Has anyone had any problems similar to this?

Could you ask a neighbour to help?

What is the storage maximum temp on the container and what was the actual temp of the fridge? Only asking because I had a similar situation and in fact the drugs were ok because the temp was still just in the safe range. I got some ice packs and found a neighbour as pp suggested. What is the temp outside? Could they go in a box out of the sun?
Failing that you will have to ring your doctor.

Or hospital pharmacist. They can advise or maybe store for you.

Thank you for your advice! I contacted the hospital and they advised that it will be ok in the cool bag until my new fridge arrives, so phew!
