Pharmacies work with a wide variety of medications. Some of these medications call for cold storage in a temperature controlled unit specifically designed for temperature stability. Read on for more information about cold storage of medications. A medication fridge should provide a stable temperature of between 2 and 8°C. A good rule of thumb is to set your medication refrigerator at the middle point between the minimum and maximum storage temperature to allow for a proper storage temperature even with small fluctuations due to the door being opened during the day.
Maintaining a proper temperature in a laboratory refrigerator is crucial to maintaining the cold chain for temperature-sensitive medications. Many medications, such as insulin, antibiotics, eye drops, some topical creams, as well as vaccines require storage at a precise temperature to avoid changes to potency that could place your clients at risk or cause them to need re-vaccination. Medications that require cold storage will expire quickly at room temperature, rendering them toxic or less effective.
