Storing Medication in Tropical Climates

Hello,

I am moving to a tropical climate, and I am seeking tips on how to best store my medication, (Asacol and then Lialda). All I could find online was to store them in a "cool dry place," and not in your bathroom or near your stove (of course!).

But in a high temperature and high humidity environment a "cool, dry place" is not something that can be easily found. So I am thinking I might have to make one. For example, I was thinking of storing my meds in an insulated lunch bag in my closet. Perhaps even with a gel pack underneath. What do you think?

Any fellow UC fighters in humid regions have any tips or plans that they can share?

Thank you!

I found a lot of articles that explain why high temps and cold temps will destroy the effectiveness of your meds. Asacol and Lialda should not be refrigerated as it normal frig's run below 40 and this particular meds must be stored between 58 and 77 degrees.

I guess - worst case scenario, I can buy a tiny frig and run the internal temp higher - but I really hate the thought of having two frig's running.

Any other ideas welcome!
