Avatar n tn glass bottles of 240 mL (unflavored), cases of 24. Protect from heat. After opening, store Pedialyte under refrigeration and use within 48 hours. http://www.rxmed.com/b.main/b2.pharmaceutical/b2.1.monographs/CPS-%20Monographs/CPS-%20(General%20Monographs-%20P)/PEDIALYTE.
Avatar n tn We have a pharmacy forum on MH go back to the forums page and look to your right.
Avatar f tn No, fish oil needs no refrigeration if it's in gel caps. It's the flax seed oil that needs the refrigeration.
Avatar n tn Hi there, Tammy is right. But, specifically the guidance says "Room temperature storage up to 30 days, if refrigeration is unavailable" Note: if refrigeration is unavailable Personally, I feel this does not include varying room temperatures and I would not advise anyone to leave it out in hi (hot) temperatures. But, that's my personal opinion. Would only feel comfortable to do something like that if I knew the temperatures at which the forumula/medicine would change.
10064121 tn?1415176073 The lactation specialist at my hospital said it's good for 12 hours no refrigeration. 36 hours refrigeration. 1 month in the door of a normal freezer. 3 months in a deep freeze.
Avatar f tn t worry too much, just make sure you drink plenty of water and diluted juices and avoid dairy foods and milk until you are well. Best wishes.
Avatar f tn After refrigeration, if my baby does not finish all the breastmilk, how long is it good for at room temp???
Avatar n tn There is a slight advantage to Pegasys (alfa-2a) The Pegasys needs refrigeration.

Avatar n tn It is still white. My cat has all ready missed a dose and it is the weekend. I think I will give him a dose while I wait for the answer, but will it be okay to continue the doses?
Avatar f tn I had woke up on the 26 with drooping in face and neck, with arm weekness and leg numbness and could not use it, TIA'S,then ended back in hospital the following day with severe angina,i have had severe problems with my breathing. is anyone having any of these horrible symptons.I am very worried about these things. yes i know its normal to have some side affects like severe flu symptoms cramping nausea ect.....
Avatar n tn I ate a box of fresh raspberries and there was some liquid bright red blood in one berrry. It tasted like blood. They had been in my fridge for one and a half days. Would the hiv virus be inactive at that point, or would the fridge keep it stable enough to infect someone?
Avatar m tn Thank you for your reply and yes all is well- seems the heat and travel are actually helping to keep her nicely stable!!
Avatar n tn Lantus can be left unfridgerated for weeks at room temperature and not be spoiled, as long at temperatures are reasonably cool, and the liquid remain clear. This is not, of course recommended. And not desirable. On the other hand, it will lose effectiveness, which means you may not be able to precisely titrate a dose. It's kind of expensive, so there is no need to discard it for such a short period without refrigeration.
Avatar f tn Yes, I read the trial document and there was nothing. I asked for the RX of all 3 medications but was only given the peg and riba . I meant to ask for the teleprevir medication guide today but forgot. Go figure-- when I needed it tonight. I've been so diligent about taking everything on time. I have decided to risk it and take 2 tele pills at 1am instead of midnight. Hopefully, I won't wake up with rash from head to toe. Thanks for your reply and I am so happy you finally SVR.
Avatar n tn Though it would be wise to check with a pharmacist to see if insulin would fare well being transported without refrigeration, since it would be a pereiod of about 12 hours and they say insulin can last a month without refrigeration and is being used. Or check with your sons doctor to see what he recommends.
Avatar f tn You twist the cap off a bottle of flat, hot soda and you pour it out on the gravel. Once cold, refreshing and inviting...now it stinks of overly sweet charm and chemicals. You remember that moment, the swinging cooler door, refreshing blast of air, humming refrigeration motors running, rows of colorful labels inviting, the pleasant moment when the cold sweetness first went down... Or maybe not. I can't honestly say I'm nearly that "present" when I buy a cold drink.
Avatar m tn 1, T3 = 4.1 and T4 = 14 in Oct 2012... and then I went overseas for 2 weeks in november and took one strip of thyroxin with me but my mistake that I switched off the refrigerator and when I came back I just switched on the refrigerator, never realised that the tablets were not in "working" refrigerator for last two weeks and are of no use..
798555 tn?1292787551 I think probiotics that need to be refrigerated are okay until they are opened, am I wrong? And I think a majority of them do not require refrigeration nowadays, thoes are typically the ones I go for.
Avatar f tn i am 6 months post treatment and still have gastrointestinal problems that i didn't have before the treatment. i.e. fat intolerance, diarrhea, gas. has anyone else experienced this so far post treatment? and what do you do? This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/630636'>Abdominal Hemangioma</a>.
229439 tn?1245812437 I had all the same drugs as you except the PIO ( I had the suppositories which needed refrigeration) and none of them had to be kept in the fridge, so you are totally fine.
Avatar m tn I've had a clear, watery rectal discharge for a couple months. The liquid has a fishy/sewer smelling odor. The discharge worsens when I'm anxious and smells like a flatulence when I'm sitting/trapping the moisture. I have also noticed that my stool has had a particularly foul smell lately. My symptoms are anal itching, some burning with the discharge and anal discomfort. I payed the GI a visit and recieved a physical exam.
Avatar f tn because your immune system is compromised during pregnancy you are 20 times more likely to get sick from Listeria and it can cross the placenta and hurt your baby...that is why they say no lunch meat unless heating until steaming...you would be safe if you heat your egg salad until steaming but that sounds kinda gross...
Avatar m tn Lasix in the morning and Seroquel (low dose) at night. She has become more irritable and seems depressed. Should she stop or reduce her medications?
Avatar f tn I'm a first time prego and was not planning and or even having sex on a regular basis. Was taking medication for my add and for chronic pain from bad accident. I also am around spray paint and other finishing chems for my business. I found out I'm pregnant because I was spotting and honestly couldn't remember my last period. Went to doc and was too early for ultrasound, but had blood twice now and waiting to see if levels have doubled.
Avatar f tn But, I read about botox injections and something else ....with medications that I am avoiding. For the moment, I take neurontin, and lamotrigine. And I was on morphine patches which I decided to stop. The doctor prescibed Trazadone which will help me sleep But, it is unfriendly to tardive dyskinesia;so, I plan to stop it as well......I appreciate your answering. It is hell.... At times, I feel so low that hope to die. Oh, I forgot: I am taking vit.
