Properly storing levo or t3

Hey all,

I was wondering what suggestions you had for storing levo when the weather is hot?

My Levo/T3 says on it “Not to be stored over 25 degrees” I’ve been keeping them in a cupboard but lately my apartment has been getting up to 30 degrees in the day time (no air con in our place). Not sure if it’s a smart idea to put them in the fridge (worried about condensation). Advice is welcome!

(For the record my pills come in a blister pack so they are already somewhat protected)

Thanks!

I tried the fridge and they disintegrated. Now I keep them in the garage. Maybe a cool bag but keep the ice block in a different compartment so the done get condensation or too cold?? What do they do in Australia?

Hehe would love to hear from an Australian what their solution is :)

Garage sounds like a possibly good idea, i don’t have one but I do have a cellar.

Thanks for the reply! 😄 does it get as hot in your kitchen as the outdoors or do you have climate control?

Never gets as hot as outside, no, probably high 20s in the summertime. We do have air con but we put it on only when we’re home, otherwise would be working only to payoff that electricity bill 😄

Australia here as well.

I have my levo and THYROID-s in the fridge.

the levo is in a blister pack. I store them in a plastic clip lock container, the thyroid-s is comes in a screw container and I have one of this moisture packs in there with it. I get the moisture pack out of some of my vitamin pills.

Sommer or winter, they are stored in my fridge.

PS

no toasty weather here at the moment. 4-9 deg at night, 21-29 deg during daytime. the blo##y blue sky makes me sad, we need rain. blue sky all around!!

I guess we will get our floods in summer........
