New Freeze Indicator Spots Frozen Drugs for Better Safety
Freezing isn’t good for many pharmaceutical products, so pharmacies, caregivers and, increasingly, patients, need a
way to know whether their products froze in transit. SpotSee’s new freeze indicator provides that information.
Despite some vaccines needing frozen or deep-frozen temperatures, many vaccines, biologics and other medicines
can be ruined by freezing. HUMIRA® (adalimumab) a treatment for ulcerative colitis, and Pradaxa (dabigatran), an
anticoagulant pill, are two of many possible examples. Some, like insulin (used to treat the approximately 29 million
Americans with diabetes) can become completely ineffective or even deadly when frozen.
Drug developers and distributors go to great lengths to use the proper protective packaging when shipping
therapeutics and diagnostics, but sometimes those materials fail, are damaged or aren’t used properly.
