Refridgerate the ring???

I read on another post that someone was switching from ring b/c she couldn't refridgerate the ring - wha? Does everyone keep their rings in the fridge? I wasn't told that and it didn't say that on the leaflet- I keep mine in a closet.

Yep, I keep mine in the refrigerator - that's what my doctor told me to do.

I know when my doctor gave it to me it was in the refridge but she said I didn't need to keep it. It has to be kept at room temperature from what I read and was told. Now this is only my 1st month on.

So if I should please tell me.

Thanks

When I get samples from my doctor, I refrigerate them.

"The pharmacist is supposed to put an expiration date on your ring when it's dispensed with a date four months from the date they dispense it to you. It's supposed to go on a little sticker that covers up the expiration date on the box. In the last several years, though, I haven't seen a pharmacist do that, it was only right at the beginning."


Mine here always do!
