CMoldie Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Does anyone have a recommendation for a stand-alone chilled medicine cabinet? I ask mainly because I am on long term treatment with Methotrexate and am prescribed 12 x 2 ml vials of injectable solution which I keep at home for up to 3 months. The information sheet specifies storage below 25oC which is well below typical daily temperature. At the moment I keep them in the salad drawer in the fridge, but that is not ideal and is, in fact, cooler than recommended. I have considered the small fridges designed to hold four cans of beer, but they tend to form a lot of condensation. I would prefer something built for the job. I guess I'm not the only one who needs something like this. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
from the home of CC Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Vials of methotrexate should be protected from light (stored in a cupboard – not on window sills). ➢ Once opened, vials of injectable methotrexate can be safelystored for 4 weeks (28 days). ➢ Opened vials can be stored at room temperature, it is not necessary to keep opened vials in the fridge. Seems more light sensitive than anything, the above was from google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukrules Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Thermoelectric wine cooler (google it). Like a fridge but not as cold and pretty cheap, you can find small ones, I've seen them on some website, might have been Lazada, can't remember exactly. Check that the cold doesn't degrade your meds as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mserror Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Fridge is fine for medications, and will extend the shelf life. Do not freeze: this may affect some. Do not use the salad drawer, this is high humidity. But the rest of the fridge is dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
