Some meds (insulin, for example) require constant refrigeration.


Actually, insulin can last up to 30 days at "room" temperature. At one
of the hospitals I work at we have not been refrigerating OPENED/USED
insulin bottles for over 3 years now. We put it in the patient's med
drawer in a med cart station, rather than leave it in the fridge where
it may become a "community bottle" (increasing the chances someone may
re-enter it with a used needle from a different patient).
