Hi

Hormonal injections are highly temperature sensitive than the other drugs and should be stored according to the instructions of the manufacturer to attain the complete benefits of the drug.

Eprex should not be used if there is a possibility that it has been frozen, or if there has been a refrigerator failure.The potency of the drug would be lost and the drug may not be useful to the patient.

Kindly discard the injection and administer a new injection for reliable potency.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards
