Pharmacists clarify medication storage during outages
The Pharmacists' Association issued important advice on how to store medications in the refrigerator during a power outage. They emphasized that medicines should be placed in the center of the fridge, away from the edges and ice, and it is essential to prevent freezing, as freezing damages medications and makes them unusable. Experts clarified that a slight increase in temperature can be tolerated, but freezing leads to medication spoilage, especially chemotherapy drugs that need to be stored at a specific temperature. They also advised consulting a pharmacist. Additionally, they recommended not purchasing large quantities of medicines, particularly for long-term use, and instead opting for smaller amounts to prevent spoilage.
