forgot to refrigerate promethazine suppositories, help!
I picked up promethazine suppositories 4-5 days ago alongside other meds i need. I completely forgot the pharmacist said to refrigerate them (I was clutching an emesis bag and just trying no to make a scene in the pharmacy LOL, so I was a little distracted).
Does anyone know if they go bad if they are left out for a few days, or is the refrigeration just to help them stay "firm" for insertion? Once they're cold, if they look OK, are they still safe/effective to use? I ask because the oral promethazine (that I can't keep down) is just a tablet that does not require refrigeration
Also, does anyone have suggestions for how the heck i'm supposed to get these in? I have NEVER put anything in my butt before, and I don't think my butt is going to be enthusiastic about the whole thing. i asked the pharmacist if i'm supposed to use lube and she was just like "no, just unwrap and insert" and i'm not sure I can just....stick something up there.
I'm on the floor with nausea/vomiting, and running out of PTO. Any suggestions welcome.
