How Long Can Eutroxsig Be Used Without Refrigeration?

When travelling overseas I am on thyroid medication EUTROXSIG which need to be refrigerated. I always find it difficult to find where to do this as most hotels etc don t have a frig. I have been told by many pharmacists & doctors that they will last 6 weeks without refrigeration but what do I do after that?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Yes you need to refrigerate it otherwise the drug will lose its efficacy. Eltroxsig should not be kept unrefrigerated for more than 21 days. You should discard it after 21 days.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
