Medication storage

Some products must be refrigerated until first use, others are stable at room temperature for a defined period; requirements differ by product and are printed on the Canadian package insert. For winter travel, avoid leaving medicines in a cold vehicle, and use an insulated bag rather than direct contact with ice packs. Ask the pharmacy before deviating from the label.
