My Forteo pen was left out of the refrigerator all night. Is it still safe to use?
@ira Diamond,
I think you should check with your Pharmacist.

I left my FORTEO Delivery Device out of the refrigerator by accident. Is it still safe to use my FORTEO Delivery Device?
If for some reason your delivery device is exposed to temperatures above the recommended
36°F to 46°F (2°C to 8°C) longer than the few minutes it takes to complete giving yourself your injection, do not throw the delivery device away. Put it back in the refrigerator and call FORTEO Connect at 1-866-4-FORTEO (1-866-436-7836) and they will be able to help you determine if your delivery device is still safe to use.

You should check before using it. It can get infected if stored too warm.

I saw after I posted that while I was typing (and checking) you had posted. (Check the time stamps.) Why the proprietorial attitude? We're all here to help. Rolls eyes.
@contrex,
No attitude. Just thought it strange you reposting that. Didn't know you didn't see my post, that's all.
