Temperatures of drug storage areas in large animal veterinary practice vehicles in the summer

Large animal veterinarians carry drugs in storage areas in practice vehicles which are not typically refrigerated. The most common upper limits of storage temperatures for U.S. approved non-refrigerated drugs are 77F or 86F. Because ambient temperatures in many locations in the U.S. exceed these temperatures in summer, our objective was to measure storage area temperatures in two distinct geographic locations to evaluate the extent to which manufacturers recommended storage temperatures are exceeded.
