I bought the liquid HCG _HUCOG from ADC. I got a bit extra so I won't have to wait next time. Should I store them in the fridge even before they are mixed? Does the BAC water only need to be stored in the fridge after I puncture it? Just checking....Don't want everything to go bad :0)
I may be wrong but I thought the liquid hCG needed to be kept cool. The bac water can be kept at room temp until you puncture it. Also remember that the items need to be kept dark once opened. I keep mine in a small box in the fridge, but others like to wrap them in tinfoil or duct tape.
I store it in the fridge just because our nurses say it's best to keep it as stable as possible. BUt it doesn't come with an ice pack in it so if you're using it quickly, it probably doesn't matter.
If I had a "stash" of hcg... I"d keep it in the fridge...bottom drawer, out of the way. As Colleen says...it is the most stable place (humidity and temp) in your home. Granted, the hcg was exposed to inconsistent temps in transit to you....but every subsequent exposure to inconsistent temps makes it alittle less potent....its all cumulative....therefore I think its best to just keep it in the fridge.:) Lets not forget that drugs transported to hospitals come on semi's too...and then get refrigerated upon arrival at the hospital...organs for transplant come in styrofoam coolers.....:))
also, unopened bac water can be kept in any cool dark place. Its not as picky. :) Hope this helps. :)
Mine is in its blue bottle and the blue bottle and syringe (sublingual) are inside of an clean empty sour cream container in the back of the fridge. I have 2 nosy 13 year-olds and the blue bottle might catch their eye, but they both hate sour cream, so it's safe! My dry hcg that I haven't mixed yet is in the kitchen cabinet behind the cookbooks.
