I need to have my methotrexate injections delivered to work. The company will only deliver on Fridays and that is a day that I work. My manager took advice from the drugs policy adviser for the NHS trust that I work for (by the way I work in adult learning disabilities....not in health care). The upshot is that I have been advised that I can accept the delivery but cannot take the mtx into the building. Instead I must store it in a colleagues car (I don't have a car). The delivery company have advised against this in the winter as the drug might go below 2 degrees (not good). I am now wondering about Summer temperatures too as cars can get very hot. Also my partner points out that a spill in a car would be a nightmare to clean up. Oh bloomin hell...as if I haven't got enough on my plate without all this. Any ideas please?

I think I just answered in your other post. What about getting it delivered to your local pharmacy and picking it up from them? That is what I do - but I have Humira, which needs a fridge.
