telaprevir question storage

[johnny679]

Hi , very warm in my apartment , especially today , left my telaprevir in the fridge ( 4 degrees C , 39 F  ) for 7 hours as I was worried it would go bad in apartment . It was 35 degrees C , 95 F in my apartment today .
Anyway I realize I made a mistake , room temp  should be .  What do you think should be okay or should I be worried . Telaprevir were new bottles sealed still . I appreciate the replies , I have been stressed with long hours at work and I am very forgetful lately .

I appreciate your replies I called vertex and  they said as it was only 7 hours that it will be fine , no  damage done . Feel much better , thanks again .

hi johnny....

My personal opinion is  that the Inci being in the cool fridge for only 7 hours would have no adverse effects on efficay ,however I agree with UNC that a call to the manufacturer might be the best course of action to get clarification

Best to you with your tx.

i just got the number from my last box of Incivek. how happy am i to be finishing it. as this is my second attempt, the Incivek has made treatment much worse for me this time than the first round. i hope to get some of my life back.

ya, don't put the Incivek in the fridge, not  a good idea.
