Probably not a problem for everyone but it was a problem I was running into where my meds weren’t being as effective towards the bottom of the bottle and then would work great after a refill.

My meds are supposed to be stored between 67F and 77F and my apartment has been routinely getting to around 85F for days (and weeks) at a time and by the time I was getting close to the bottom of the bottle it wasn’t really working that well for me.

So I took one of those can fridges and added some temperature control to it to automatically keep it in the temperature range I need and also added a large bag of dessicant in there to keep the humidity low as those little can fridges suck up moisture something fierce.

So basically make sure your meds are stored properly or you’ll probably have some additional issues that you really don’t need.

    Also - I mean that’s not really what that study says… They kept it at 71°f. Which is still within the controlled temperature. It’s not 85°f.

    So good job googling after the fact to prove what you didn’t actually know and still being wrong

      Yeah, just ignore that they stored it at 40 freedom temperatures, which is a lot outside the suggested storage range, and had no impact. So OP’s +15F difference would most likely not be some game changer of a very stable chemical; many other factors have a much bigger effect on bioavailability, and that’s what you should be focusing on instead.

        Okay but no one is saying refrigeration is denaturing it in this thread and no I won’t just focus on what you want because you say so
