Walking holiday query

[Quantam]

I am going on a two week walking holiday and will have no opportunity to refrigerate my drops. I am on latanaprost and timolol.Is there a solution to get round this problem?

Best Regards!

Do the instruction leaflets say you must refrigerate them? I've used both these previously and never refrigerated them. Never been a problem.

This is the instruction on the box

Hi Quantam, the frio pouch is designed for this. diabeticsupply.co.uk/produc.... You can also buy a wallet which fits just 1 eye drop bottle.

That's brilliant,I will buy one thank you very much!

[ANO_Health in reply to Quantam]

They are brilliant and really do work well. I use them for holidays and overseas trips.

[Beecalmed in reply to ANO_Health]

I second that. Frio pouches are great. As long as you have access to cold water, of course. 👍🏻

Frio also have their own shop. friouk.com/product-category...

Great ,thanks for your help!

I use both and have never refrigerated them. If in doubt ask your doctor/consultant.

[Quantam in reply to RomeItaly54]

Thanks for your advice

surely when once you have started using the drops they can be kept at up to 25 degrees C for 4 weeks.

[Quantam in reply to GCPizza]

I'm walking in France in the middle of summer without refrigeration at the accommodations so maybe not!

I have used latanoprost and it only needed refrigeration until you started using it , then it had to be kept under 25 degrees c . Enjoy your holiday

[Quantam in reply to Darn-dogg]

Thanks for the advice

I read that as not to store over 25degrees so ok not to refrigerate if not over 25 degrees ? They are not refrigerated when I get them from the pharmacy

Many thanks
