So I’ve just taken my first dose

does the pen go back in the fridge? The instructions aren’t clear

Instructions say get out of fridge for 30mins before dose to allow meds to get to room temp,

Box says keep in fridge, then under that it can be kept out of the fridge but under 25 degrees for 3 months then under that once opened store in a safe place

I can’t for the life of me remember!

Thanks in advance!

I always stored mine in the fridge. And they worked.

@FlutteryButtery2 I always put mine back in the fridge afterwards. I only tend to take them out for like 15 mins before injection too, as I usually forget! X

Thank you both - we have put it back in the fridge 😊

You can put it back in the fridge each time or leave it out for up to a month, but once you've left it out, don't put it back in the fridge. It is the changes in temp which destabilise it and can affect effectiveness.
