Putting meds in the fridge
Our fate arrived via a large UPS box today!
A handful of the drugs came packaged in a cooler with ice packs and the rest were just in the box.
I read the guide as to which meds should be refrigerated and which can be room temp - and it was the opposite of how they were packaged (ie: they put baby aspirin in the cooler lol)
So needless to say...I'm confused.
Does anyone have a list of how they were advised to store meds?

Re: Putting meds in the fridge
it may be easier if you tell us what meds you got.
follistim/gonal and lupron once it's open should be refrigerated.
also you may want to call the pharmacy to let them know. Im sure the meds are ok but they should know they messed up.
