Help w/ decision re: pegasys shot?

Took my interferon proclick out of fridge and the vial was fogged up. Now that it's warmed up, it's hard to tell if it is clear or slightly cloudy. It's looks better but....I don't know. Trying to reach someone to help.

I did everything as you did, and it looked better, but at that point my judgement was cloudy. Just got off the phone and will get a replacement. Oh, it has been very warm in my house when I get home from work. Last week I chose to use the proclick and this week I just wasn't sure.

Thanx all for your responses. I think these drugs are catching up with me and creating some anxiety.

Mine often show some condensation upon removal from refrigeration, and I do remember one time when for some reason it worried me. With more time to equilibrate to room temperature and with repeated wiping of the exterior I finally felt sure it was just condensation. I hope that was all that happened to yours. I still don't know why it was so much more extreme that one time.

Could it have been condensation? I mean the unit might be foggy but could the actual liquid part of the medicine be clear?

Dawn,
I used a pre-filled syringe that I had on hand. This is what I think happened. By wiping down the outside of the unit the container itself became opaque. With the syringe I peeled back the measurement label and could see that the liquid was clear. Oh so crazy. I'll talk to someone tomorrow and get the proclic replaced.
New shipment on tues. too.
Thanx for responding.

If in doubt don't use it. I'm assuming that you have another to use instead.? Then just contact your Dr, pharmacy, or even pegasyst for advice on what to do with the "bad" one and for replacement if neccessary.
