Guest guest Posted July 20, 2002 Report Share Posted July 20, 2002 I take 2,000 mg of tetracycline daily. I'm aware that antibiotics don't stand the heat particularly well, but just how hot is too hot? For much of the day here in Chicago this summer, we *do* have the A/C going -- but it's not on all the time and occasionally the entire apartment does get into the upper 80s. Should I be putting the tetracycline in the freezer? The last thing I want to have happen is for this stuff to heat-mutate into something toxic.

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2002 Report Share Posted July 21, 2002 Leigh, my pharmacist told me that tetrcycline can take the heat better than the cold, and to NEVER put it in the frig, must less the freezer! I do not know the upper limits of temperature that it can take so check with a pharmacist. Kate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
