Patf Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Good advice - some tablets dry out and become crumbly. Maybe that's why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbie Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Drugs should always be kept below 25C unless that particular drug should be kept cooler. It should give the storage temps on the packaging Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
