Which of the brand Koolatron is best to transport medications must be refrigerated?

It depends on whether your meds need a definite temp. This system just reduces the cooler temp about 30 degrees below the surrounding air temp. So if the surrounding temp is 90, the cooler will only cool down to about 60.

We purchased the P-25, which should be excellent for transporting medications. We travel for work and have owned ours for 4 years and wouldn't be without it. We purchased the AC adapter so we can use our Koolatron in our hotel room. We also use it for vacation travels. It's been a wonderful investment! Again, we have the P-25 model and can't vouch for any of their other models.

My Koolatron quit working in less than a year. Now have an igloo about same size that has worked well - with a longer warranty as well.

Master Supplements has been GREAT, I have ordered from them many times from Amazon. I have ordered Probiotics online for years, many come completely un-insulated. It arrives well wrapped/insulated in bubble wrap. I have found this to be more than adequate. It may appear a bit more expensive, however.... There are other less expensive suppliers, even with more elaborate insulation, but I don't want my package in transit for MANY days longer. With those less expensive suppliers, you can pay for faster shipping, but then you're back up to 'expensive'... I go with Amazon/Master Supplements and be done with it!

Unlike other live probiotics, it doesn't require refrigeration. If you use it everyday, it will last about 30 days, but it will keep great during transport and throughout normal use. We've used this probiotic for about a year now with great results. The branding for the US has changed a bit and Gerber started carrying it, they call it colic sooth. It's the same company (biogaia) and dose information is exactly the same as well. Great product!

I like it! I use it for keeping medicines cool when we're on the road. It keeps contents chilled for a good 8-10 hours, is easily tucked away in a large handbag or carry on & the ice pack "recharges" if placed in a small refrigerator overnight. It's a good buy.

I refrigerate pro-biotics that are encapsulated. However, unless the packaging specifically states to refrigerate product, I feel safe to put seven days worth of individual capsules in my weekly pill holder and then, return bottle of remaining caps to the refrigerator.

It is recommended by the manufacturer. If you order the item as a "fulfilled by Amazon" unfortunately the item will not be refrigerated while in-transit.

Unfortunately, Swanson Health Products does not ship any products in cooled environments or dry ice. If a product requires refrigeration, it is stored as such in our warehouse. We have found that delivery the time frame is not long enough to damage the quality or potency. -Swanson Health Products

I haven't ever refrigerated mine and get great results. To be honest, Rainbow light products are some of the first vitamins that I can feel the results with-fantastic stuff!!

As per Custom Probiotics website, "the loss at room temperature wthin a few weeks is very low. We can therefore assure you that the quality of our very high potency probiotic dietary supplements will not be compromised." Here at Sun Organics, we do keep all our probiotics refrigerated and suggest you do the same upon receipt. Our goal is to provide you value products at affordable prices. To add cool packs would add at least $10 to the product cost. WARNING: ANY SELLER SHIPPING VIA AMAZON FULFILLMENT - AMAZON DOES NOT OFFER REFRIGERATED WAREHOUSING, SO PRODUCT WILL DETERIORATE.

Yes, I keep mine refrigerated to prolong the life. But when I fill my weekly pill box I go ahead and put the weeks worth of pills in it. Also we recently spent 2 weeks overseas and I took enough to last me and although they weren't refrigerated the kept me from a return bout with the dreaded cdiff.

It doesn't need to be refrigerated. Keep it like you do any other supplements - probably best in a dark cabinet.

Ice packs are not included when your order is fulfilled by Amazon and are included when fulfilled by merchants listing offers to ship with ice and the buyer sees clearly the ice pack is included when making their purchase. More importantly, however than the question as to whether the product comes with an ice pack or not is the question regarding necessity of an ice pack. It's significant to note that while many buyers of Klaire Labs probiotics insist these products require refrigeration to ship, the manufacturer does not. The manufacturer reports in their summer 2011 update on probiotics; "At Klaire Labs, we conduct real-time stability studies on all our probiotic products to assess their long-term viability at both refrigerated and room temperatures. Data we've obtained from independent laboratory tests indicate our products maintain a relatively high degree of stability at room temperature for up to five months and then gradually begin to lose potency (see graph below). This suggests that while our probiotics require refrigeration to maintain viability over time, they do not quickly die off at room temperatures. Products may be taken out of the refrigerator for weeks or even months without a significant loss of viable organisms. Products shipped to customers with cold packs also retain excellent viability even if the cold packs are thawed and the product no longer feels cold to the touch at the time of arrival. To further ensure the potency of our products, we routinely formulate with "overages" so that even small losses of activity that may occur during shipping, handling, and storage are insignificant."

The first time I ordered this I did not even think to check if it needed to be refrigerated and it seemed absolutely fine. The second time I ordered, I ordered several at a time so I keep it in the fridge. I do use a weekly pill dispenser so 7 days at a time sit in that with no refrigeration and seem to work the same.

Michael, Our Gel is shipped USPS and does not require refrigeration. The Gel should only be worn using custom made trays from your Dentist according to enclosed instructions. You may refrigerate the Gel for long term storage to maintain shelf life.

I was told by my physician to keep them refrigerated. I did that and would only take one out to use immediately. With this process, I had no problem whatsoever. I would not freeze these suppositories, but would definitely refrigerate them. In response to any better way to buy, I would say that they're available at drugstores, but cost approximately $4.00 more than the amazon price.

It depends on the medication you are travelling with. We use it for growth hormones which needs to be kept cool. I would recommend taking ziplock bags and fill them with ice regularly. The case has a compartment for the ice pack and I do not think it would stay cool very long unless it is frozen. If I were travelling, I would use ice, then refill whenever I stop for gas. With an ice pack it will stay cool for up to 6 hours. I love this thing. Happy travels.
