Not sure what you're looking for here...

I've heard that it can be at room temperature for 7 days, for two weeks, and for 30 days. They can't all be right.

I'm conservative. I keep it in the refrigerator in its original box, and take out four or five at once to warm up. If one goes haywire, there's always another one warmed up.

I keep mine in the fridge, and pull one out each day. I allow it to warm to my body temp by holding it in my pocket or tucked into my waist band, and use when its ready.

they say it can be kept at "room temp" for up to 30 days. I guess I dont trust that. Why would they ship it cold, and put pershisable stickers all over it, if its truly ok at room temp? I dunno, im not taking chances. I keep it in the fridge. They have a nice fridge box that hold a 30 days supply.

I keep mine in the refrigerator, too...I take one a day out to warm up. Have you ever looked at the stuff in the syringe right after you take it out of the fridge? It's like glue...no wonder it feels uncomfortable when you inject it cold.

you should keep it in the refrigerator. make sure it doesn't freeze.
some refrigerators have extra cold spots.

it can be out of the fridge for 30 days but i'd still keep it cold.
i take a few syringes out at a time for several days and use them up. but the rest i keep cold.
