My treatment comes every month, 2 prefilled syringes in a box wich I have to administer every other week. After injecting myself with the first syringe I left the box outside with the second syringe at the kitchen table, I totally forget to put the box back, I found out the box on table the next morning. I put the box back on refrigerator, I need to know if I'll be able to administer the syringe after been outside (syringe in the box) at room temperature????

No you cannot.  You can only leave it out for a  max of 30 minutes after that it becomes no good. you need to reorder it.

If you read the accompaning pamplet, you will see that Humira CAN NOT be left out of the refrig. How unfortunate for you, but I can see how it could have happened. Bummer!

Just a thought. Once I made a mistake with my Enbrel and spilled it all over and was unable to salvage any of it. I called Enbrel. told them what I had done and they shipped my dose to my pharmacy free of charge to me. Then a friend of mine left my MTX in the car over night and I called my pharmacy and the pharmacy replaced it free of charged. Don't be afraid to ask for help. These meds are costly errors are bound to happen.
