storage of pegasus interferon

I am on vacation for 3 weeks now in Germany.I brought my ribavirine and interferon with me and stored my interferon in the fridge.Today i found out that the fridge is on average 10 degrees Celsius where on the package it says it should be stored at between 2 and 8 degrees Celsius.
Did i inject my self for three weeks with interferon that didnt work??What should i do with the one injection i still have in this fridge for the remainder of my vacation??
Is 10 degrees really to high??
Im worried

With friendly greetings

agree with can-do-man i too wouldnt be overly concerned about it lots of people dont even know what temp their fridge is like he said as long as it dosnt freeze and not kept in direct sunlight and heat you should be fine. Make a quick call that should put your mind at rest and enjoy your holiday in Germany

You might want to put a call in, myself I wouldn't be to concerned over this as were only talking about what 4 degrees? Now if you was storing it for several months then maybe. The main thing is don't let it freeze or let it be in direct heat... Then it would become a problem.

Enjoy your vacation, wishing you the best.
