How to store Maxitrol Ointment?

[KayGeeBee]

I've just been prescribed Maxitrol Ointment. The leaflet says "Do not refrigerate or store above 25C". What suggestions do people have please for keeping this medicine in the required temperature range when room temperature is above 25C in this hot weather? Thanks.

I have found a Frio bag very useful. I got mine for travel several years ago (from Amazon I think). They were originally developed for storing insulin and work using evaporation to keep your eye drops cool. I have found it very good.

Thank you for the recommendation.

Hello,

As already mentioned a Frio Cool Wallet is a good option. We always recommend buying them from the manufacturer direct.

I have checked the patient information and it does not recommend refrigeration, so a Cool Wallet will be the best option for you as it keep drops cool between 25-28 degrees. I have attached a link below for you to take you to the website.
