Ghost or Anyone- Please Advise on Med Expiration

[Sunshine1576]

Ok my pharmacy is telling me that once my Follistim med is opened-- after 28 days it must be discarded. Yet my clinic is telling me as long as I have kept it refrigerated, (which I did), it will be okay to use through Oct. 2011. I have no insurance coverage so it would save me around $600, yet at the same time it would give me peace of mind to go ahead and order new med. Maybe I just answered my own question, but what are your thoughts? Sunshine1576

What I heard was closer to what your pharmacist said. I heard 30 days.

Thanks Ghost and I did go ahead and order brand new meds... I thought it would be worth it just knowing I wouldn't be anaylzing "what if"...Always better to have that peace of mind! Sunshine1576
