How long in the fridge?

[MrsDeaDea]

I have a 2.5 pen in the fridge. I had one dose and then had to go away to look after my aunt. That was 5 weeks ago. I’m back now and not sure whether to continue with this one or not? Wwyd?

The information is to discard 30 days after first use.

It’ll be fine. I’ve done it multiple times.

5 weeks is 35 days and the avice is to use a pen within 30 days. I know that lots of us go beyond that when microdosing but I'd you have three more doses that would take you to 8 weeks at least, or 56 days. I'm not sure I would go that long with an open pen. Hopefully more people with actual experience will pop up soon.

I use a pens (kept in fridge) for 8-9 weeks. I would use but its at your own risk.

I am planning to micro dose from a pen for 8 weeks. Arguably what you’re doing is safer as you’re using the pen less times. Are you confident that you cleaned it properly last time?

I micro dose so use a pen kept in the fridge between 8 and 12 weeks depending on dose.

Some providers advise pens can be in use for 6 - 8 weeks. When they do this they take on the personal and professional liability for that advice outside the manufacturers guidelines, so they won't do it lightly.

Some people use pens for longer, at their own risk.

Although the guidance says to discard after 30 days, I’ve used a 5mg pen for longer than 8 weeks at least 6 times now, so I personally wouldn’t be worried about taking 4 x 2.5mg doses from yours.

Check that the liquid looks clear, not cloudy and the red tip is cleaned each time with a fresh wipe.

Thanks all. I’m pretty meticulous with wiping etc.

I've used my pen for 12 weeks so far, still works fine and I keep it in fridge throughout.
