Ribovirin in the fridge

I accidentally put my ribovirin in the fridge x 5 days before I started treatment. It came on ice and the pharmacy that sent it stuck some label over the "how to store instructions" on the box. I am worried that the medicince is not working because of the wrong storage x 5 days. Any advice?

Where can I keep my medicine?
Keep out of the reach of children. NEVER share this medicine with anyone.

Ribavirin capsules may be kept in the refrigerator between 2—8 degrees C (36—46 degrees F) or at room temperature, 25 degrees C (77 degrees F). Interferon vials or multidose pens should be kept in the refrigerator between 2—8 degrees C (36—46 degrees F).

"riba is also highly water soulable....like cocaine.how ironic is that?"


HUH?? There are MANY things that are water soluable. You picked cocaine to compare to riba and then call it ironic? No. It's just weird that YOU made the comparison.
