How Do I Know That My Medication Was Shipped At the Right Temperature?

Something that has always bothered me about minoxidil is that fact that it can only be stored at a temperature roughly between 66 to 77 degrees. Even if I am careful storing the minoxidil that I buy how can i know that the same precautions were taking during product shipping, stocking at store, etc.? There is no way to know!

So in your expert opinion do you think minoxidil will still work if it gets too hot or too cold? I tried calling the Rogaine manufacturer but the person on the other line was not very knowledgable about the product.

While most medications should be kept at room temperature, some allow for temperature variation in short periods of time for shipping.

So while there is no way to truly know if your bottle of minoxidil was appropriately stored every step of the way, most places that sell this medication have some quality control standards during shipping and warehousing. I’m certainly not an expert on this, but you can read about this “cold chain” here.
