Complete Storage Instructions for Viagra Tablets
Temperature Requirements
Tablet Viagra must be stored at room temperature, ideally between 15-25°C. Temperatures above 25°C can degrade the active ingredient sildenafil, reducing effectiveness. Avoid storing near radiators, in direct sunlight, or in cars where temperatures can fluctuate dramatically. Both branded Viagra and generic sildenafil from EverydayMeds have identical temperature requirements.
Original Packaging Protection
Always keep tablets in their original blister packaging until use. The packaging protects against moisture, light, and air exposure. Desiccant sachets in boxes should remain in place - these absorb excess moisture that could damage tablets. Transferring to pill organisers may expose tablets to degrading conditions.
Moisture and Light Protection
Sildenafil is sensitive to moisture and light exposure. Store in a dry location away from humidity - bathrooms and kitchens are unsuitable due to steam and temperature changes. Keep packaging in a drawer or cupboard to protect from light. Moisture can cause tablets to break down or become contaminated.
Locations to Avoid
Never store in vehicles, garages, or outdoor buildings where temperature control is impossible. Avoid refrigerators unless specifically instructed - cold temperatures can affect tablet integrity. Window sills, conservatories, and areas near heating systems create unsuitable storage conditions. Medicine cabinets in heated bathrooms are particularly problematic due to humidity.
Expiry Date Monitoring
Check expiry dates regularly and dispose of expired tablets safely through pharmacy return schemes. Expired sildenafil may be less effective or potentially harmful. EverydayMeds supplies fresh stock with good expiry dates, but monitoring remains your responsibility. Mark calendar reminders if storing long-term supplies.
Travel Considerations
When travelling, carry tablets in hand luggage to maintain temperature control. Use original packaging for identification at security. If travelling to hot climates, consider insulated medication pouches. Never leave tablets in checked luggage or hot vehicles during travel stops.
