travelling with antiviral pills at 30-40°


we are getting towards summer in my country with temperature 30-40° (86-104) very common, since i travel all the time for work i am trying to find a case with temperature control for the meds (entecavir maximum temp 30 and alinia 25)
how did you solve this problem when travelling?it looks like it is not easy to find a case with temp control at the pharmacy and i cannot even find anything online

How many days worth of medicine do you need to carry?
I ask because last year, the supplier would always deliver my peginterferon in thermocol storage boxes, with ice-packs in it. I was told that as long as I keep the box sealed, it will last up to a week. Of course, you would not use ice-packs for 25C, but still, a thermocol box would be quite suitable for your task. The one I used was huge (approx 25cm x 20cm x 20cm) but I suppose you can find them in all kinds of shapes and sizes. If you go to a drug supplier, they might even give you one for free.

You might want to use something like http://www.dataclean.com/temperature_strips.htm on the inside. I do not know if the one I linked to is reusable - not the kind that locks down on the highest or lowest temperature it has ever seen.

thanks, i travel for 1-2 weeks with no electricity most of the time so it is not easy.

i guess a box like yours plus a mini fridge should work or a very small minifridge which works with batteries but until now i haven't found it
