Medication FAQ

Q. What is the difference between units, cc's and ml's?
A. On the insulin syringes (for Leuprolide):

10 units = 0.1ml = 0.1cc

5 units = 0.05ml = 0.05cc

Q. Can I mix my medications in advance?
A. Generally medications must be used as soon as they are mixed. However, hCG once mixed is stable for 30 days in the refrigerator.

Q. Do I have to inject my medication at the same time every day?
A. It is recommended you give your shot the same time each day. Some physicians may allow a window of time to give the medication. Check with your center regarding protocol.

Q. Do suppositories need to be refrigerated?
A. Suppositories are refrigerated in order to hold their shape. If your suppositories arrive warm, refrigerate and their shape will return.

Q. Who can I call if I have questions after business hours?
A. If you're unable to reach Fertility Pharmacy during our regular business hours, call our 24/7 on-call pharmacist at (877) FERTILITY9.
