    Eric I question the indicated answer for storage of NuvaRing? The internet states storage should be room temperature (between 68 degrees F and 77 degrees F). The answer on this quiz indicates storage as refrigerated. the internet indicates room temperture storage of 4 months after you receive Nuvaring, then discard. Please respond.

      Great question! It is recommended to store it in the fridge at the pharmacy prior to dispensing. Once it is dispensed to the patient it can be stored at room temp for up to 4 months.
