I wasn't sure whether to put this here or in supplies. I like many thought if it's good enough for my medicine it's good enough for my BAC and wanted to refrigerate. Fact is Pfizer says BAC water should be stored at room temp does this forum disagree with Pfizer?
Further the Internet chestnut of posting the wrong answer to get the right one. I remember reading that there is actual reasoning/science behind this and that the benzyl alcohol is less effective as a anti-bacterial when it's colder vs room temp. If I am repeating something wrong come at me please Internet? And if that is true how sensitive are peptides to room temperature once constituted? It makes sense to me that extreme heat is bad and cold could be good for storage, but BPI and Lilly both again have claimed this medicine is fine for quite a while at room temp I think 28 days infact.
From that standpoint is there more risk of infection chilling medicine for longevity of the peptides at a cost of sterility? I feel like this should be figured out since most of us don't have clean rooms and can use a vial in a month should we be keeping the medicine at room temp once reconstituted in a trade off of longevity vs sterility if it's going to be used in a month I feel like sterility should be the winner. Then again maybe the benzyl is more effective but the cold slowing down bacterial growth that does survive the 1% is the bigger risk? But Pfizer should know best so IDK?
This is really probably too much though, but curiosity and all. My biggest pet peave is that people want to use/trust some China BAC water, when Hospira is so little a percent of cost relative to the medicine itself, you lose so much guarantee your BAC water will be good for so little cash saved. Just get the name brand for BAC were already being risky enough. And before anyone calls me a shill for Pfizer if you want to use sterile water and do single dose vials that's fine with me ignore all this talk.
