No it is not safe to use.  It can only be out for half an hour, after that it is no good.

I just got my first humira shot today and the nurse stressed how important it is to only leave it out for the 15-20 mins prior to doing the injection. She said if it's left out longer to return it to the pharm and get a replacement. So that I don't forget that I took it out I am going to set a timer for 15 minutes and once it goes off I will know to do the injection.
