peoples opinions are mixed on this issue.

can the dry hcg powder be kept for a while in a cupboard before being mixed (obviously once mixed it needs to either be discarded or kept in fridge).

wht do people think
 
thats the impotant thing. i hope that the pharmacies dont keep it cold- as that would suggest that the stuff breaks down at room temperature even when dry. my plan is to freshly mix each time before injecting. i have to do this as i dont have easy access to refridgeration (or at least not for storing meds- student house!!!) and then discard the rest

so im praying that unmixed hcg powder doesnt denature at room temperature!!

I wouldn't keep powder refridgerated .. I would be afraid of condensation .. HCG is not as unstable as HGH but i wouldn't let either one sit in heat .. hot wheather or deffinitly not in direct sunlight
 
Organon states on the box for Pregnyl with ampules of hCG, that it must be kept refrigerated.
I would assume if the manufacturer recommends this, then it cannot be guaranteed stable if not kept at the correct temperature.
 
from a profasi leaflet:

How should I Store Profasi?
Profasi must be stored below 25 degrees C and away from light.

BTW, 25 DEGREES c = 77 F.

room temp is 25 degrees isnt it.

i guess really i wont be able to tell if it is still usable until i mix up a batch. to be honest some of the guys on the forum say that the pharmacies they buy their hcg from dont regridgerate it when unmixed, so i reckon it must remain stable at room temp when in un-constituated form

masterpp,

What does it say on your brand of hCG?

it would depend on the brand they are using.. each one has different recomendations. On the box for the Pregnyl that we get in Australia, I dont know if its different in the UK, its says to store between 2-8 deg C. If was going to be ok at a higher temp they would state this.
The same goes for different brands of HGH. Some need to refrigerated at all times others can be left in room temperature for a couple of weeks un-mixed.

There are so many variables in hormone replacement, I don't think you want to go adding another by not knowing if your hCG is actually working or not.
 
My friends who get there scripts for $1 never keep it fridged before mixing and neither would it .. No reason to as there is no reason to do that with HGH either and will all know how unstable HGH is ... Just shoot some BA in it and room temp will be fine just like HGH

Condensation??? Why on earth would the MANUFACTURER recommend refrigeration for THIER product if it wasn't necessary?

all of you are making sensible suggestions- im hoping that the drug company is just trying to cover their backs in saying that even unimixed it should be stored, and that in reality itll work all right!!

NO one i know fridges their HCG or HGH before it is mixed with the BS water and they always work fine .. there's NO reason to

thanks man whore

very reassuring- so refridgeration is just to keep it stable once mixed.

either way i dont have much of a choice in the matter :)

I'm not trying to take this thread off course but I did want to chime in on the HGH. Some manufacturers may recommend different temperatures for storage. This was taken from an email of an HGH manufacturer.

HGH is lyophilized powder, which is stable during shipping. Our "Acute Devastating Test" from our research and development departments showed that our HGH lyophilized powder is stable at 37C for 1 month if stored away from light.

Although the Acute Devastating Test shows that the drug is good for novel temperature, it does not mean that it should not be stored in a frozen condition for long-time storage. The shelf life of the HGH lyophilized powder is 24 months, please store them at 2-8C when you receive them.

Novarel is room temp, till reconstituted.
I was considering putting it in the fridge till I read the readme.
I have that at home for storing if you can wait.
 
im pleased. im hoping hcg should work when stored away from light.
as well people discuss different solvents to mix it with, bac water ect. it just seems that the refridgeration is to stop that active part going off,but it only becomes active when reconstituted.

im hoping it will be ok
 
Novarel says to store at controlled room temp (unmixed)...

68-77F.

SInce in the summer here my appt routinely is in mid 80's, and even mid 90's... I bought a mini-fridge (peltier based), with a digital control (unfortunately it has a wider temperature hysteresis than I'd like)

Anyway - hopefully someone smarter than me can answer this...

With respect to the dry hCG, in the sealed vial... Where is the risk? Is it in wide temperature changes over a short period?

(E.g, going from 77F to 67F in 10 mins... Or does it take something much more substantial to induce condensation)
 
I use Novarel, keep the mixed vial in refrigirator, also unmixed sits next to it (for space reason).
I use 250IU/EOD so one vial lasts 80 days.
That is right, I use all HCG and do not worry about the 30 day period.
I do not think my testis are producing much T but they stay firm all the time and I do not see any difference when I am on first 30 days with my vial or latter.
I do see some fluctuation in firmness on days with out the shot.
