Stephanie!!!!! :

bring it to your pharmacy and see if they'll switch it out

Daniel :

Pharmacist here, it is not

TheMedicMurseKY :

Once it’s crystallized it’s trash unfortunately. Like someone else said see if your pharmacy will exchange it.

✨Cierra✨ :

Call the manufacturer see if they can give you a coupon card for a free one. Tell them it’s faulty. Most of the time they’ll give you a free one. Ive worked in pharmacy for 8 years

_Bug_ :

My mom said not too if it freezes and she’s been diabetic since 7 and she’s 50 now, if mine did I wouldn’t either because it damages it and becomes less effective

Ïsa :

pharm tech here, typically pharmacies wont switch it out since thats user error. youll have to call the manufacturer and see if they cant send you a new one

Tristan :

No once insulin gets frozen it loses it’s potency and ability to control your blood sugar. If you call your insurance and let them know the mishap they usually will approve you for another refill just depends on insurance tho

📚🍃Teia🍃📚 :

It won't work properly that's why it says to avoid heat and not to freeze it, like it won't harm you but it weakens the insulin..

Drew :

🌻Lo :

as a pharmacy technician, at work my pharmacist says no.

happyc0408 :

not safe

Yours_Forevermore :

no do not use.

Gtfo :

No you can’t, you’ll have to exchange it at the pharmacy

eli💕 :

safe to use but its effectiveness has prolly changed. i live in fl so this has never happened to me but ur doctor should be able to refill the script for u

Ash :

I work in a pharmacy and most of them cannot replace or refund you for any product once it has left the pharmacy. the drug company can send you a coupon for a free one of if the product is faulty. This is just a phone call, who's to say if they follow up. But please don't bring it to the pharmacy

Gandalfthegrey2 :

Freezing it messes up the proteins in it and it won’t work unfortunately.

millikudi :

Nope

RubberDucken :

If insulin is life or death, you gotta be more careful with that 🙄

Ugly Rat :

it's ruined automatically if frozen

Grizz :

dont

Katie :

No

Darkside :

no

lalalahappymonkey :

as someone that works in the pharmacy, realistically, the pharmacy WILL not exchange the insulin that YOU accidentally froze. It’s not cheap.

etan :

how cold is it bro mine never freezes
