       UK folk, as we find ourselves in 30+C temperatures again, this is a reminder to check your medicines for appropriate storage temperatures. You’ll find that many of them shouldn’t be stored above 25C, so get them in the fridge 👍❄️💊

       @WiteWulf Yup, well worth checking, 25° seems to be an industry standard max temp for many meds.

       @jonlord @WiteWulf it is often because above that temperature they decompose quicker which either reduces their efficacy and/or shortens their shelf life.

       @carbontwelve @WiteWulf Well worth knowing - only a few weeks ago realised the eye drops I use need to be kept below 25° - now happily residing in the fridge, the eye drops, not me.

       @jonlord @WiteWulf it is. I also wish I was in the fridge given the unbearable heat we are having right now.
