I have heard about Australia recommending storage in the refrigerator.

My Tirosint arrived today, August 7th, in the mail. The medication was mailed out August 3rd, I live in Florida, today it was 97 degrees in the shade and the temperature of my mailbox was 117 degrees farenheit at 7:30 pm today. This far exceeds the “excursion” statement in the storage section of the package insert. Like you, I am acutely aware of my symptoms and dont want to take a chance. I will call the pharmacy in the am and request replacement. Wish me luck. Have you heard much about refrigeration of medication to extend the shelf life? That seems to be the thing in Australia.

I can’t find anything anywhere that sells a storage container for room temperature meds. Of COURSE we know we can’t store thyroid meds in the fridge because of humidity and heat is bad also. I live on a boat and it gets hot. Where do I keep them. I’m going to have to invent something I guess. Pharmacist doesn’t have a clue nor does dr. Even medical supplies stores only sell storage for epi pens n insulin. Craaaazy
