medicine storing,a question?

Question

i have some injections of testosterone enantate,on the indications it writes that they have to be stored on a place where the temperature is lower than 25 C;well.....i kept then like 3 mouths in a room on the last floor where the temperatures goes as high as 35 C.....anyway not on direct sun light....u think that it happened something to the active principle?will the medicine still be effective?or could it have expired and-or changed his chimic?thanks 4 helping

Answer 1

There is a reason why the medication is supposed to be kept at less than 25C! If it goes higher, especially for three months, the medication could have broken down, preservatives no longer work, etc.

I would not inject the medication into anyone. It should be destroyed and replaced.

Answer 2

Most likely it is still effective. Temperature does effect most tablets/capsules (they can actually start melting...I see it all the time with tessalon). There is still the chance that the medication is not effective anymore due to the higher temperature. Humidity can also affect the condition of a medication.

Answer 3

It is still active.

Answer 4

its activity may decrease.
