Refrigerator and/or Cooler Bag
The pharmacist should explain exactly how, and at what temperature, to store a manufacturer’s or compounded liquid, or a liquid mixture that has been made at home. If a liquid requires refrigeration and it is not possible to access a suitable refrigerator (such as when traveling or living in a motel or boarding house), a small cooler bag and real or blue ice will help keep your jars cool.
