Hot Weather & Medicine Safety: What Every Indian Patient Should Know

India’s summers can be relentlessly hot, with temperatures often crossing 45°C. Such extreme heat doesn’t just affect people it can compromise the effectiveness of medicines too.

Most pharmaceutical products, especially antibiotics, insulin, eye drops, probiotics, and heat-sensitive tablets, must be stored at controlled room temperatures (usually below 25°C) or even under refrigeration. Exposure to prolonged heat may degrade their potency, making them less effective or even unsafe.

Unfortunately, many chemist shops in India still lack proper air-conditioning or climate-controlled storage, putting medicine quality at risk.

As a patient, it’s your right to receive safe and effective treatment.
1) Choose chemists that store medicines in air-conditioned spaces or visibly maintain cold-chain integrity.
2)Always check if temperature-sensitive medicines are refrigerated.

Your health deserves more than just a prescription. Choose quality and safety. Beat the heat and keep your medicines in air conditioning space .
