cold byetta
I spoke with the pharmacist at the Byetta hotline regarding keeping
the medication cold. I had been having a site reaction and thought it
could be due to my Byetta being at room temp. (my mistake)Anyway, she
said it would not breakdown for about seven days if kept at room
temperature (around 72.) She said the most important thing is that it
not be frozen.
I actually have an small, insulated lunch bag that I use with a
freezer pack covered in a dish towel. I got my Byetta welcome kit
yesterday; it has two gel packs to put in the fridge, not freezer. You
put it in the zippered side slotes and put the Byetta pen in the
middle. (The welcome kit took about 6 weeks to arrive.)
