the label and the manufacturer of my een say not to expose it to light. what happens if it is? last week i did my injection, but forgot about the warning and was holding it up near my bathroom light while i drew the needle. is it still safe/effective? tonight’s my next shot, probably should have asked sooner :P

edit: only realized my mistake after finishing the injection and noticing the label had turned red

edit 2: pic of the label bein red

edit 3: got a pretty quick reply from the manufacturer. label turning red/black is normal actually, from heat/moisture, which makes sense. also according to the manufacturer, the e is slightly pink: normal for mct oil when exposed to light, but as long as it doesn’t get worse it should be fine.

    another +1 for it’s fine

    a bathroom light is a bulb, not the sun, and at most might heat the vial (which happens when the vials are made, a one time heating should be fine).

    The concern is about sunlight, not all forms of light. The problem is that UV light from the sun can denature the chemicals (just like it can give people skin cancer).
