Sure, here’s a blog post about how medications such as insulin and EpiPens become less effective over 25 degrees and how MedActiv cooler bags help keep medications at the optimal temperature:

Keeping Your Cool: Why Temperature Matters for Medications Like Insulin and EpiPens

When managing chronic conditions like diabetes or severe allergies, your medications are your lifelines. Insulin and EpiPens, for instance, are critical for daily health and emergency situations. But did you know that their effectiveness can be severely compromised by something as common as temperature fluctuations? Specifically, temperatures exceeding 25 degrees Celsius (77 degrees Fahrenheit) can degrade these vital medications, rendering them less potent or even ineffective.

The Danger of High Temperatures

Many medications, particularly biologics like insulin, are sensitive to heat. Exposure to temperatures above their recommended storage range can alter their molecular structure. For insulin, this means a reduction in its ability to lower blood glucose, leading to potentially dangerous highs. For EpiPens, the adrenaline can break down, reducing its life-saving power during an anaphylactic reaction.

Imagine being in an emergency and realizing your EpiPen might not work, or struggling to control blood sugar despite taking your usual insulin dose. These are real and serious risks when medications are not stored correctly. Standard advice for many of these sensitive drugs is to keep them cool, often between 2 to 8 degrees Celsius (36 to 46 degrees Fahrenheit), and certainly below 25 degrees Celsius.
