PSA: Your estradiol pills might not melt together but they will be damaged by high temperature environments. Always store your hrt (and other meds) in cool, dry conditions.
What are people who live in the desert or the jungle supposed to do?
People who have access to hrt usually also have access to a fridge
Depending on the medicine, a fridge could be cold enough to damage it. My testosterone isn't supposed to be stored at temps below 68F (20C)
Oh interesting! Is susceptible to heat as well?
Yes, it shouldn't be stored above 77F (25C)
🤔
I don't know for a fact, but the testicles are outside the body for cooling purpouses....

you can make shade and relatively dry locations even where its humid.
Also, if you're in the jungle or desert, usually you ended up there on purpouse, or there are no pharmacies nearby.
There are cities in the desert. Las Vegas, famously, but also Cairo, Damascus, Alice Springs, and Madrid. Likewise for the jungle.
and do you find that medicine cabinets in las vegas are unsafely hot, or that my point is still correct?
