Well it depends...
If it's the prefilled syringes, it can reach a temperature of 25ºC (77ºF) for NO MORE than 6 days and be immediately returned to 2ºC-8ºC (36ºF-46ºF).
If it's vials, it can be exposed to 30ºC (86ºF) or -20ºC (-4ºF) for NO MORE than 2 weeks and be immediately returned to 2ºC-8ºC.
Hope this information helps!! Good luck!!

Thanks for your reply..its prefilled syringes..so i can still use it..right?
please let me ask one more question, Will the drugs which didn't keep between 2 -8 C for more than 6 days give adverse effect on patient who inject it? Hope to c your reply soon..with thanks.. Nang Aye Aye
I don't believe it will give an adverse reaction, more than likely the medication is no good. Per the manufacturer's label it states that it becomes "unstable" after 6 days of room temperature and not immediately returned to the proper storage, but doesn't say anything about any adverse reactions. They are doing more studies right now, but don't have any further information available.
please can u tell me is there any website mention about that information?
I actually work in a Specialty Pharmacy, so we have the information here at my work. You might try and search http://www.gene.com/gene/products/information/pegasys/pdf/pi.pdf and see if you can find any information on there. That is the full prescribing information given by the company.
