Hi Don, you had better ask your pharmacist that question pdq, it would be a terrible loss if it is no longer safe, but insulin is nothing to fool around with.

The term 'store at room temperature' is too ambiguous and medicine labels now specify 'store below 25°C'.. to avoid temperature spikes above 25°C. QED Scientific developed a storage cabinet that operates within this temperature range. These cabinets are ideal for care homes or any other healthcare industries that want peace of mind that ambient drugs are stored at the correct temperature.
