Re: Is it necessary to keep the tablets in the refrigerator,under 25 C?

hi Fragrance,

All thyroid meds except Thyrolar are to be kept away from moisture.

Therefore, I interpret that to include staying out of the frig. 25

degrees C = 77 degrees F. You would need to keep the T meds in a

cool dry place in the warm months, especially.

Most/all thyroid meds (except Thyrolar) s/b stored between 59 - 86 F

or 15 - 30 C.

WOW! That didn't make sense! (Doinf TOO many things at a time.)

~All thyroid meds except Thyrolar are to be kept away from moisture.~

What I meant to write is that all T meds except Thyolar are to be

stored in a dry secure container at a temp of 59-86 F or 15-30 C.

Therefore, I don't think that means in a frig where mositure is

readily available.

In addition, bioavailability most likely would be similar. Maybe

someone else can help with that as it's not something that I have

time for at this point.

Thank BJ,

You are very right. Yes, the moisture is also very important.
