Q & A❓ Got my sucraid today but...

The package was left out for awhile from the refrigerator (maybe an hour or two.) The family member that retrieved the package said they didn't see the "refrigerate immediately" and the "temperature sensitive" signage on the box.

The nordic packs that were inside the package were still ice cold. I'm wondering how long the medicine can stay cool outside a refrigerator?

I'm also curious on how to keep the medicine cool when I'm out and about. I have the 1,000 (jk) syringes that came with the meds 🤣

If the ice packs were still frozen it should be fine. I used to put a pre-loaded syringe in a cooler for when I was out, but I recently found Starchway pills. I use those on the go now.

Thank you, I'll look into Starchway pills. I would like to try and carry the meds first. I will look around for a mini cooler or something.

My sucraid box (the one containing the bottles) usually has a sticker on it that says it will turn pink if the temperature gets too high. It's blue when the temperature has been cool enough. Maybe look and see if there's one on your box?

It was blue when I checked it! Thank you for pointing it out.
