Controlled Room Temperature

Meaning

Controlled Room Temperature (CRT) is a regulatory standard for the storage of pharmaceutical products, defining a temperature range typically maintained between 20°C and 25°C (68°F and 77°F). Adherence to CRT ensures the stability, potency, and safety of medications over their designated shelf life, minimizing the risk of thermal degradation. This standard is critical for maintaining the molecular integrity of sensitive compounds, including peptide and steroid hormones.
