Lots of folks have been using online pharmacies for years, and why wouldn’t they? There’s no going to crowded locations in person, wondering if they will get sick with something someone else has. Also, they don’t have to wait, wait, and wait some more for their prescriptions to get filled. Instead, the patient calls the online pharmacy or visits its website, places their order, and the goods come to them, usually a few days or so later.
The entire process is really easy and convenient. Patients in places where it is legal are even benefiting from getting medical marijuana delivered to their homes. Are you in charge of an online pharmacy or dispensary? Did you know that you should take precautions to protect your shipments from extreme heat if that’s the case? It’s true. If your interest is piqued, keep reading to learn why.
The Problems With Temperature Fluctuations
According to an article from the Montreal Children’s Hospital, various prescription drugs are sensitive to heat and humidity. Therefore, they should typically be stored in temperatures between 20 and 25 degrees Celcius or 68 and 77 degrees Fahrenheit. When that doesn’t happen, the potency and effectiveness of the medications can become altered. Meanwhile, the same can be said for medical marijuana. According to Medicalmarijuana.com, heat is something that can cause cannabis to become less potent by degrading THC to CBN. Not only that, but high temps can also degrade terpenes, resulting in a loss of flavor.
