It can be pretty hard to keep your meds between 50 and 75 degrees in the summer if you don't have air conditioning (or if you do but leave it off when you're at work). And of course if they're sitting in the mailbox all day they're probably totally deteriorated. And in the winter, cold probably ruins some of them too. Makes you wonder how many of us may have failed med trials because there was something wrong with the meds, not us. And of course, with the generic vs brand, with a HMO they won't even stock the brand if a generic is available, so you'll never know if the brand might have been better. Cecilia
