Kat's Skyrizi journey

[Kat]

We've had a couple of packages get held up for days (usually in Atlanta) so I made the decision to wait until the first of the year before having the Skyrizi shipped to me as I didn't want to have to worry about it not being kept at the right temperature.  I know before when they mailed me the Cosentyx it was packed to stay cold but I'm not certain how long those last.  It's only a couple of weeks to wait.

Store in a refrigerator (2°C - 8°C). Do not freeze.
Keep the pre-filled syringe in the original carton in order to protect from light.
If needed, you may also store the pre-filled syringe out of the refrigerator (up to a maximum of 25°C)
for up to 24 hours in the original carton to protect from light.

Good luck with the shingles vaccine.

I had one shipment of Rileys med which had to be kept at a certain temperature get held up at Christmas for 5 days at a facility. We had freezing temps and I wasn't certain where it was located and if it would be affected or not. I called the pharmacy who shipped out another dose and told me to send that one back (when I received) to be on the safe side.

I just don't know what temperature it might reach if held up. Though they may fedex it which would get it here quicker, but even they are backlogged right now.

I'm a bit excited to try Skyrizi and hoping for good results. Also a bit uncertain as I don't like trying new things.
