We used what we need from the vial and then use the remainder the next 2 days. We didn't refrigerate it either.

Also, if you are paying for this out of pocket yourself, there is a rebate from the manufacturer.

Previous PP that had 2 links, thanks!

Just to be safe I think I will call pharmacy and ask instead of 450 them to change vials to 75 iu, I can just use 2 at the time ( it's the same amount of $ and not sure why they gave 450 instead)

Thank you all! Good luck!

Ha, good typo.

i think i put it in the fridge.

OP I'm kinda confused if you have the pen or the multidose vials. According to the manufacturer, you can store either way for either type.

Pen: "Store the Gonal-f® RFF Pen refrigerated (2°-8°C/36°-46°F) until dispensed. Upon dispensing, the patient may store the pen refrigerated (2°-8°C/36°-46°F) until the expiration date, or at room temperature (20°-25°C/68°-77°F) for up to three months or until the expiration date, whichever occurs first. After the first injection, the pen may be stored refrigerated (2°-8°C/36°-46°F) or at room temperature (20°-25°C/68°-77°F) for up to 28 days. Protect from light. Do not freeze. Discard unused material after 28 days."

Vial: "After each use, the vial containing the Gonal-f® Multi-Dose liquid must be stored
away from light and may be stored refrigerated or at room temperature
between 36°- 77° F (2°- 25° C) for up to 28 days. Otherwise, the drug’s potency
can be reduced. Do not store the drug in the syringe"

I kept mine in the fridge and it was fine OP.

I always kept mine in the fridge once opened.

I mean good for 30 days at room temperature.

SG told me it's good for 30 days once opened.

I think you just keep it in the fridge for the next day (but it has been a few years...). I'd email nurse to check and you should hear back in morning.

I've only ever had the pen so not sure I can help. I had several pens, used the prescribed amount, put it back in the fridge and when the first one was empty I opened the next one.

They gave me 450 iu and I need only 150. So do I keep the rest of 300 for next 2 days in the fridge? do I keep in the pen or in the vial. sorry very first time ever doing this, almost fainted when I did the needle tonight...
