Am on prednisone (prednisolone) eye gtts for a retinal problem.
Went to a bbq yesterday, the outdoor temp was probably low 80's, maybe, though it did feel quite hot and humid at times. Left the gtts in my bag in a parked vehicle for maybe 5 or 6 hours. Didn't think anything of it at the time, not till I got home.
Gtts supposed to be stored at room temp, away from heat and light, so this a.m. I called the pharmacist and he suggested replacing them, he said the key was when I said they were in a parked car as the temperature can get over 100 in a parked car. I don't think it was that hot yesterday but I do have one refill so am going to get the refill. It should be enough to get me to my next MD appt. and if I need another script then I will tell the doc at that time what occurred.
He said if they were on my person and I were comfortable even if it were in the 80's they should be alright, but the parked car was the thing.
I never thought anything of it, I could have put them in the person's house which had A/C. Hindsight being 20/20.
Do you agree replacement is the way to go? And does anyone else ever do anything like this?
