Safely ship medicines refrigerated abroad
Shipping medicines chilled abroad for extended periods
Medicines must be shipped carefully and with suitable gel packs to maintain their quality and effectiveness during transport abroad. In this blog, we explain what you should consider when shipping temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical products.
Why is chilled shipping essential?
Many medicines, especially biological medicines, vaccines, and certain injectable products, are temperature-sensitive. An environment that is too warm or too cold can affect the efficacy of the medicine. Strict temperature control during transport is therefore crucial.
GDP guidelines
Good Distribution Practice (GDP) guidelines apply to pharmaceutical transport. These guidelines specify how medicines must be handled during transport and storage, including temperature monitoring and recording.
Choosing the right packaging
At Cooled Solutions, we are happy to advise you on the right combination of insulated packaging and coolants. For longer transports, EPS boxes with gel packs are often the best choice. For shorter shipments, an insulated liner is sufficient.
