Traveling With Testosterone - Hot Car All Day

GreenMachineX · May 21, 2023

So the family and I will be going on a road trip soon, and there will be days where my testosterone vials will be sitting in the car for a full 8 hours while we're exploring amusement parks and such. Is there any issue with this? If so, any tips to deal with it? Would it be better for it to be on ice on a cooler? Does it even matter if it's not 90 degrees outside?

Thanks.

Testosterone should be fine. You don't even want it below room temperature because of the possibility of crystallization.

So, better hot than cold it sounds like?

Yes, within reason. If temperatures get into the hundreds of degrees F then destruction can occur, while crystallization from low temperatures is reversible with proper warming.

Gotcha; thanks.

I keep some of my refrigerated drugs in a tiny waterproof pelican looking case in the fridge. Cheap on Amazon. Could get one for the car. The foam inserts might help insulate from the heat.

I have a little soup-style thermos that I keep in the frig with my HCG and such. I take it on trips and just drop a few frozen plastic ice cubes in it. If you are worried about the cold leave out the ice cube.

Brilliant. Even less conspicuous than my idea. Not that I'm trying to hide anything in my house or anything, but with kids and guests and all, it's just a little less startling when people open the fridge to injectable meds right there on the door. Great idea. Thanks!
