Refrigerating Tymlos daily.. quick question
Now that temperatures are climbing where I live, I am going to keep my Tymlos pen stored in the fridge ..
Must I first take it out of the fridge for an hour prior to giving myself the injection each day?

Hi dooshie,
Sorry if that was misleading - the nurses took the Evenity syringes out of the fridge. I did, indeed, go to the doc for the injections.
As an aside, the cost of Evenity (the medication) wasn’t covered by insurance as a medication for Part D because it was administered in a doc’s office. Tymlos, being self-administered, was covered as a Tier 5 drug with a hefty copay until the “gap” OOP deductible was reached.
Cheers!
I keep my TYMLOS 30 day pan on the kitchen table and my house stays between 65° and 78°. I keep the other 2 pens in the refrigerator and take the next pen out when the one on the table is finished. The medication needs to be refrigerated for storage however the current pen is fine in a temperate situation for 30 days. If you allow your house to get too warm, if you live in the desert without air air-conditioning, I think you should keep it in the refrigerator and take it out allowing it to get to room temp before Daily use.
