I did the old didn't close my refrigerator door all the way and freaked out. I'll never do that again. Pegasys is good for 24 hours. It was only 6 hours. I was told not to worry. I never thought to ask about the procrit. Hmmm Hope it is still good. I leave it at the same temperature as the pegasys. Damn still need to get that thermostat for the refrigerator

They ship it in a styrofoam case that's got several gel packs. I've traveled with Incivik and I think it did fine. Maybe 35 to 45 degrees? I remember reading that the gel packs would not let it get frozen. I assume you're talking injectables. I just keep the gel packs in the freezer and save an old box to put only the amount I need in so I can leave the rest in the fridge. I think the box insulates and keeps it from freezing. Hope this helps! My Dr. said my method sounded fine.. Karen :)
