PSA: Your estradiol pills might not melt together but they will be damaged by high temperature environments. Always store your hrt (and other meds) in cool, dry conditions.

What are people who live in the desert or the jungle supposed to do?

People who have access to hrt usually also have access to a fridge

Depending on the medicine, a fridge could be cold enough to damage it. My testosterone isn't supposed to be stored at temps below 68F (20C)

Oh interesting! Is susceptible to heat as well?

🤔

I don't know for a fact, but the testicles are outside the body for cooling purpouses....

Yes, it shouldn't be stored above 77F (25C)
