Pharmaceuticals are important, and that’s undeniable. Any shipment of pharmaceutical products may contain substances going to lives they’re in charge of saving, or lives they’re tasked with improving the quality of. These delicate shipments are also time and temperature sensitive, something that should be considered when they’re being shipped or transported any long distance. Temperature controlled shipping can allow pharmaceuticals to be shipped worldwide, and even medications that require refrigeration can be kept in perfect condition on the way to those they were created to help.
Heat isn’t the only environmental concern for pharmaceutical products, and temperature sensitive medications will sometimes need to be protected from cold as well. Some pharmaceutical products need to be kept above a certain temperature to maintain their effectiveness, and the right packaging during shipment can really save these medications from dipping below their necessary temperatures as well.
Whether medications require cold or room temperature storage during shipping, the 2014 Global Cold Chain Report predicted that 50% of medications will require temperature protection by the year 2016, and this number is expected to increase as time goes forward and generic pharmaceutical production continues to rise.
What we offer is a way to keep all temperature sensitive pharmaceuticals safe regardless of where they may be going or where they may be coming from. From pallet covers to container blankets, we can make sure that the perfect temperature for these sensitive medications is maintained, and that those who need the medications will be receiving the effective and useful medications they require.
During a study by Ampio Pharmaceuticals for a knee-pain injectable clinical trial in 2014, the medication undergoing the trial as well as the placebo were exposed to below-freezing temperatures while shipping. When exposed to freezing temperatures, the medication is known to lose potency, and the mistake effectively stalled the trial and potentially compromised the study results. This situation could have been saved by safely temperature controlling the shipment, and ensuring the correct temperature was kept.
In our pallet covers and other temperature protection products, we use high grade and environmentally sustainable materials to ensure your pharmaceuticals are kept at the right temperature in an ecologically sound way. Whether a particular medication requires cold keeping, or warm keeping, we ensure they’re not compromised while getting from point A to point B, and those who require the medications will have just what they need and when they need it!
