This brings up a great question and point: my Gleevec is sent to me monthy,

via FedEx. It is not climate controlled for the time it is away from my mail

away drug co. I know it seems to be working for me, so for me a few days

without climate control, my Gleevec does seem to be working. But, still

worries me with some of the roller coaster WBC's I have had.

First, is these temperatures tolerances so drastic ? Is this not for long

term storage ? I never took care of it, maybe I should. Even if temperatures

in the San Francisco area aren't too extreme, it gets sometime above 100 in

my apartment (I hate AC).

For the second part, how remote is the place you are going in France (I am

French) ? France is a rather small country (yeah, I said it :) ), and it is

not so easy to get very far from civilization, unless you are camping in the

middle of Corsica. Large airports and the TGV trains have AC (I don't know

for the smaller trains, probably depends on how small the line).

Hi ,

Your doctor appears to be an alarmist. I have never heard that

missing a dose or two of Gleevec could be extremely dangerous.

Just because the tolerance level is 59-86 doesn't mean that Gleevec

stops being ineffective at 90. Maybe if the 90 degee temperature was

maintaind for several weeks or months there might be a

deterioration.

Most likely these temperatures would occur for a couple of hours

during the day and wouldn't be long enough to alter the

affectiveness.

I would suggest that you speak with your pharmacist and ask him. You

could call Novartis directly and ask speak to someone who could

advise you.

Hi Marcos -

Thanks for getting back to me. I talked to the Novartis Company that

makes Gleevec. They said once the drug goes outside these two

temperature limits (59 and 86) it's effectivess is compromised or

even destroyed.

I've made this trip many times in the past. It's a coastal resort

about 10 miles from Soulac Sur Mer. The trains to this city are not

air conditioned. One time on the way to Soulac, the train was

stalled for about 45 minutes and it really got hot. There is no

dining car with ice, etc.

I'm planning a trip to a remote area of France where the temperatures

are often in the high 90's. The temperature tolerance of Gleevec is

between 59 and 86. I would be traveling on hot non air conditioned

trains, in hot train stations, and sometimes hot airports. I was

thinking of ways to keep the Gleevec safe, but haven't come up with

anything very pracitical. The best I can come up with is carrying the

Gleevec in an insulated lunch bag with some ice and a thermometer. I

would need to check the temp often to make sure it wasn't too hot or

too cold. This plan has risks of being caught in an unexpected

situation with no access to ice. My Dr. says that being without daily

Gleevec at this time could be extremely dangerous for me. I am

thinking of canceling the trip. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

We just came back from a trip to Key West and my

mother takes Gleevec and we have not heard that

it has to be kept at a certain temp. In fact this

is the first time I have ever heard it. Maybe

they should make people aware of these things

because we traveled by train and did nothing to

protect her meds. Thanks for the info.

The notice does say to store it between 15C and 30C, which correspond in

Fahrenheit to the 59F and 86F mentioned. What I am wondering is what it

means in terms of time. Having the pills at 100F for 1h is it ok ? For 1

day, 1 week or 1 month ? If gleevec is destroyed in a few hours at 100F I

would hope the notice, the pharmacy and the dr would be a little more

concerned about the problem. I am seeing my dr in 10 days, I ll ask him,

although I doubt he ll have a definitive answer.

That's a good point Marcos. On top of that, wouldn't you say that

many of our houses can get warmer than 86 degrees in the summer? I'm

sure not everyone has air conditioning. And what about the people

who deliver the drugs to the pharmacies, do they have the drug

temperature controlled? I doubt it.

Hi Zavie,

Thanks for your answer. I did talk directly to a representative at

Novartis and I also sent them an e-mail. They said that once the

drug was outside this temperature range they could no longer

guarentee its effectiveness or safety. They would not or could not

say how quickly the deterioration happens.

,

The fridge may not be the best place for your Gleevec because the

temperature would be below 59.

Sounds as consistent as PCR testing ;)

I found a 2004 document from the European Medicines Agency that says, I quote :

" Stability

Preliminary investigations have established the main degradation

pathways , e.g. oxidation to N-oxide under oxidative stress

conditions. Degradation was not observed after storage at high

temperatures (100ºC). "

100C is 212F, if you place gets that warm call the firefighters ;)

Reference :

(glivec is the name used in Europe, don't ask why, but it is the same

drug and the same packaging).

Hi ,

I don't know what is your budget or how long your stay is, but if you

are still concerned by keeping the pills at room temperature, a

solution would be to rent a car with ac from wherever the plane puts

you. From Paris, it should be about like driving from SF to LA. You

can also take a plane or a TGV to Bordeaux and rent a car there. When

I was still living in Paris I would have had doubts about how much

safety driving a car in France adds, but road fatalities have been cut

by half since I left so it must have improved.

I wish you a good time there.

Marcos.

Hi Marcos,

Thanks for all your ideas and research. My budget doesn't permit car

rental. That's why I'm stuck with the train after flying into

Bordeaux.

The temperature range from your research is very impressive, but

still leaves me womdering how Novartis came up with something so

different.

Who is your supplier I get same thing,big box for so little.

Re: [ ] Traveling with Gleevec

That's a good point Marcos. On top of that, wouldn't you say that

many of our houses can get warmer than 86 degrees in the summer? I'm

sure not everyone has air conditioning. And what about the people

who deliver the drugs to the pharmacies, do they have the drug

temperature controlled? I doubt it.

Hi Marcos,

I'm taking the research you found to my Dr. and pharmacist and see if

they will talk to the Novartis people about it. If this research is

accurate, I see no reason to be concerned about temperature.

,

You may (or not) have a hard time getting strait answers from Novartis, for

liability fear. You may want to email one of the big Dr, like Dr Drucker.

From what I have read here he is good at responding.

I never contacted him myself, maybe somebody who did will chime in. Here's

That's a good point Marcos. On top of that, wouldn't you say that

many of our houses can get warmer than 86 degrees in the summer? I'm

sure not everyone has air conditioning. And what about the people

who deliver the drugs to the pharmacies, do they have the drug

Hi Marcos,

I just talked to my Dr. today. He has concluded that the risk of the

gleevec being damaged by high temps is very low. And even if it were

to be damaged, the risk to my health from taking damaged gleevec for

a few days would also be very low. So I'm off to France!
