Storing Medicines

[Mohitgaur088]

I don't wish to lack at this part. Most medicines say they should be stored below 25*C and away from light. A few say avoid moisture. How should they be stored? Winters are here and mostly temperature is 12-18 Celsius. I keep them away from light as well. Should I put them in refrigerator? Will there be any risk regarding moisture?

Most med bottles will have a sticker on them telling you if it needs to be refridged or not. Amys heart meds say to "shake well" and "no refridgeration required" right on the bottle.

Actually none of them says anything about refrigeration!

If it doesn't say to refridgerate then I wouldn't.

You can always pack them in an dark, airtight container in the mellowest part of the fridge (they usually have a max-low temperature as well) just throw in a handfull of those packets you get with electronics etc. to absorb any moisture)--
if you havent got those, just have a nice chat with people working in electronic-shops, shoestores erc. those "do not eat" packages are everywhere and most of the time they are happy to let you have some.


Most meds are okay with roomtemperatures, but if you happen to live in a hot part of the world, the fridge is your friend.

25C is equivalent to 77F for those of us stuck in the stone-age of measurements! Should be fine without refrigeration in a winter climate of 12-18C. (53-65F)

Yeah, I don't think any of the medications or supplements that you have need to be put in the fridge, you've got antibiotic and anti-fungal tablets, eye drops, and then the Probiotics...So none of those need to be kept cold. The eye-drops are probably best kept out of direct sunlight, but no other special care needed. I'd just choose a cabinet or a plastic container with a latching lid to keep ALL of your bird's meds, first-aid supplies, etc. and keep everything together in one place so you always know where it is...I have a large, plastic tub that has a tray with little storage dividers sitting on the top that can be lifted out and then you have large storage below for bottles and such, and then it has a folding lid that latches over the tray. So I keep all the tubes of cream, eye drops, Qwik Stop, tweezers, clippers, etc. in the top tray, and then all the bottles of medications, supplements, antiseptics, corn starch, etc. in the bottom. That way I always know where everything is.
