Re: [Felvtalk] Freezing meds.....
but with what we get, freezing is easy and doesn't take up much freezer space - I've been doing it for a while, but haven't bought any in many months. A friend just got some, I'll have to check the math with her. I also don't see why the freezing would be a problem, but any thoughts/ opinion are appreciated.

There is certainly plenty of CMA in the medical field.

Gary, we all count on you for info. on our vet meds, so thanks. As for freezing stuff... I freeze all my meds, vet meds and human meds. I've had human meds in the freezer as long as ten years and they still work fine. I've also had Clavamox in the freezer for two years past the expiration date and it works fine. I've asked several pharmacists about freezing meds, and they all say not to do it, BUT I wonder if they have to say this to cover their butts just in case. There is a lot of CMA in the medical field.
