Solensia: is room temp overnight OK to admin?

Hello there! Thanks for reaching out with your question about Solensia. I can sense your dedication to ensuring your pet gets their medication correctly, which is wonderful.



Solensia is a monoclonal antibody treatment typically used for managing osteoarthritis in cats. It generally needs to be stored in the refrigerator until you're ready to use it. If your Solensia was left out at room temperature overnight, it may not be as effective, because these types of medications are sensitive to temperature changes.



For now, observe your pet as you normally would after administering the medication. Keep an eye out for any changes or signs that your pet’s condition may not be as well controlled, such as increased limping or discomfort. In most cases, a single mishap with storage shouldn’t cause immediate harm, but it’s always best to double-check.



Consider getting in touch through a video consult on Dial A Vet. This way, one of our vets can discuss your specific situation and advise whether it's necessary to replace the medication.



Take care, and do give that furry friend of yours an extra cuddle for being such a trooper!
