Will shipping this in the freezing temperatures affect the pyrantel pamoate?

The storage handling on the label states to store at controlled temperatures. It would be assumed that shipping and handling should also be at controlled temperatures. However, "controlled temperatures" is not clarified. I store mine where it will be cool and not frozen or subject to hot temperatures.

I don't have the answer to this question but I would call the company and ask them. 1-800-621-8829 product recommends storage 59-86 F

What do you mean? It would be delivered like any other product. Since I don't know where you live, I can't answer specfically. If you're worried about it freezing, assuming it won't sit on your porch all day, it would be fine. Then again, even if it did freeze solid you could just thaw it out.

I know there are products that maintain the temperature at a safe level, such as small filled pouches with dry ice. I think this is how most shippers will use when sending their products.

They tolerate heat a bit better than cold. If you think it is cold enough for the culture to freeze, I would wait to order until it is a bit warmer. Or make sure you will be at home when it arrives.

Beats me. Our boat is in heated storage so I had not thought about the freezing issue. My guess is that the water would freeze out of the gel but how that would affect the performance of the product I don't know.

It was not shipped on an ice pack. I understand that this product is ok in room temp.

No. I sent mine back bc it was shipped without a ice pack in the middle of summer.

Weather will not be a factor on this box. It's solidly constructed, injection molded plastic. It doesn't become brittle when cold.

Dear Kevin, We ship all probiotics with an ice pack. However, in accordance to the manufacturer's shipping policy, the ice packs will not remain frozen. As long as the probiotics are shipped with a frozen ice pack, there potency will be maintained during transit, even if the ice pack is completely warm and thawed upon arrival. Please contact us with any additional questions.

Mine came with a cold pack, but it was melted by the time I opened the package. It was sitting on my porch for a couple of hours on a 90deg day. I contacted the seller and they said try it, if it doesn't work (nematodes died), they'll take care of me. So I sprayed. This was 3 days ago, so I'll report back soon.

This item is not cold shipped. As the item always is kept in climate controlled facilities with us and the shipping carriers. In the amount of time it takes to deliver, it will not affect the product.

Please use discretion when ordering items such as chocolate or taffy that have the potential to melt during the warmer months of the year. Shipping these candies during the warmer months or to warm climates can potentially damage them. We cannot guarantee the condition of melt-able candies and will not be held responsible for damages when shipped under these circumstances. We do include ice packs on orders that have the potential to melt.

Kara, We do not ship this product with cold packs due to the short time that it is in transit. However, once this package is opened it should absolutely be refrigerated. Thank You, Customer Service

I live in Arizona and haven't had to deal with this issue. But I would suggest emptying the dish before a freeze to be on the safe side. The type of plastic of which it is made seems durable enough to handle temperature changes.

I'm not aware of any vendor which uses any special packing material, and U.S. Postal Service or UPS are the usual carriers. Unlike some vaccines and insulins, temperature is not super critical: like every supplement, vitamin and over-the-counter medicine (aspirin, etc.) in my house, Qunol Mega instructs to store in a dry place, between 59 and 86 degrees F.My guess is that very prolonged heat is most likely to cause degradation, so one might avoid ordering during the summer months. Note that some vendors will be shipping from Florida, southern California and other warm climes. (This particular product contains 120 'softgels'--a four-month supply.)

Not that I'm aware of. There were no precautions pertaining to temperature on the packaging.
