Muscat Pharmacy ensures that products reach our customers as expected by complying with the latest storage and transport regulations as per local laws, Industry standards and supplier requirements.
All medicines and medical products are manufactured, stored and transported in temperature controlled conditions, in order to ensure maximum benefit to the patients with the use of such medicines and medical products. This requirement applies especially to storage and transportation in tropical countries, where the temperature and humidity remain high throughout a major part of the year.
Pharmaceuticals, being chemical compounds, tend to decay and deteriorate on exposure to excessive heat. It is therefore necessary that medicines and medical products are always stored and transported in controlled temperature conditions.
