I’ve posted this on BCN.  Members of my support group have received letters telling them to refrigerate Ribociclib…..we are with the same hospital but I haven’t received a letter yet.  Does anyone know more.

  • I have just completed my third cycle and have not been told to refrigerate. 

  • I’ve just collected my next cycle of ribociclib and I’ve been told it’s a new batch which now has to be stored in the fridge. The tablets came in a bag from pharmacy with a big note on to do this, and the info. leaflet inside says refrigerate too. Older batches are still in use too, so there’s an overlap. This is why some people are being told to refrigerate their tablets and others aren’t. Just follow the advice in the box you have. Best wishes.

  • Thanks for the update. Take care x

  • I just had a delivery and it was chilled instructions were confusing, so i called Alcura. They said it can be stored at room temperature once recieved. 

  • I got told by my breast nurse that ribociclib can be stored outside the fridge providing room temp is less than 25 degrees. My ribociclib also came with the fridge sticker too.
