You only need to keep them in a cool dark cupboard.

there was an excellent article on this recently,as they are hormones they are effected by heat, the storage temp range was basically room temp but cool. I had a panic as this summer, its been sweltering in france...its all on the pip sheet but tbh i hadnt thought to ask or check x

I asked RLC Labs, the manufacturers of Naturethroid and they replied stating the tablets should be fine at room temperature for extended periods of time. It is not advised to keep the medication in a fridge or freezer, due to cold and major humidity affecting the tablets’ quality and possible potency. Making sure that they are stored in a cool, dry place is the key.

I asked a pharmacist with a PHD in pharmacology, and she said that keeping them in the freezer will prolong shelf life by up to a year after the best before date. I keep mine in the freezer.

I suppose it depends on the fillers of each NDT brand. As I take Naturethroid and received the reply above from RLC Labs then I won't be storing mine in cold places.

Yes I just did my research and I don't think it needs to be refrigerated ..because of the humidity
