Guest guest Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 I don't refrigerate my LDN and have never heard or read that one was supposed to, unless it is in liquid form. That is different. What form do you use?

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 If your naltrexone is in a capsule, it should be good for a year at standard room temperature and humidity. If the naltrexone, or any other drug, is kept in the bathroom with elevated temperature and humidity, the shelf life is greatly reduced. If I were still working in a pharmaceutical lab like I used to, then the aqueous (liquid) form would be assigned an refrigerated expiration date of 2 weeks. For either liquid or solid form, I wouldn't worry about 2 hours outside of the fridge. > > Hi all > > I mistakenly left my medication out at room temperature for a couple > of hours and was wondering if anyone knew I need to discard it due to > lack of refrigeration? > > any input is greatly appreciated. > > Pam > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Thanks for the replies re: refrigeration. My LDN is in capsule form but the pharmacy told me to keep it refrigerated. I appreciate the input and now I will not toss my pills. Pam Boardwalk for $500? In 2007? Ha! Play Monopoly Here and Now (it's updated for today's economy) at Games.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Nomenclature lesson: Pills are hand rolled drug preperations (or a difficult person ;-)), tablets are solid drug preperations, and capsules are cylinder shaped things that have two pieces that slide together and filled with powder. (work around formulators for a while, those folks ALWAYS corrected people that used the word " pill " . > > > > Thanks for the replies re: refrigeration.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 The LDN capsules don't need to be refrigerated but if anyone is taking liquid form LDN then yes that has to be refrigereated.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 I did speak with my pharmacist today and he informed me that the supplier of the naltrexone sends it refrigerated and that they in turn inform ppl that it should be refrigerated. I will refrigerate mine and will not continue to ask questions. I can accept it that I should refrigerate mine. However he did inform me that leaving it at room temperature for a couple hours should not harm my "capsules" in any way. I do appreciate the replies to my question. Pam Luggage? GPS? Comic books?

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 HI Pam, Saw your post here about refrigeration and wanted to say hi! How are you doing? Just wondering if anything coming about or if you are doing well? I should be going in a a week or so for a scan to see if this LDN is working or not... my first since being on LDN and not sure what the oncologist is going to say... be curious...

The two pharmacies I've gotten the LDN from, Skip's and Irmat, never advised me it was necessary. I have read when LDN is in liquid form it must be kept refrigerated.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 According to what you say, LDN should always be kept refrigerated. This makes sense for the liquid form, but seems utterly unlikely for the capsule / pill form, which is totally dry and does not contain any liquid.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 My capsules clearly say " Must Be Kept Refrigerated " but I guess that's because the filler is acidophilus. Gijsman, Arjan J.
