Temperature-Sensitive Pharmaceuticals

Meaning

Temperature-Sensitive Pharmaceuticals are medicinal products whose stability, potency, and safety are critically dependent upon storage and handling within a specific, narrow temperature range, typically requiring refrigeration (2°C to 8°C) or freezing. In the hormonal health domain, this category includes peptide hormones like human growth hormone, certain fertility drugs, and GLP-1 receptor agonists, which are susceptible to thermal degradation. Maintaining the cold chain is a non-negotiable requirement for their clinical efficacy.
