No, it's not what you think -- I know it goes in my butt!! The problem is that we are having a heat wave here in Northeast U.S., my room is 84 degrees Farenheit and rising, we don't have air conditioning, and this morning my suppository pretty much melted in my hand before I could insert it. The box says to store them below 86 degrees. Obviously, their recommendation is at least a few degrees off.....

I wonder if I should keep them in the refrigerator?

Putting them in the fridge will not hurt them. I use to work at a facility, that's how i know. Hope that will work. Take care. oh and i usually don't get on this forum so if you want to talk or anything you will have to PM me.
Live it up!

Hey there. I'm in Ct and I always put mine in the fridge. Works out great.

Hi There,

The title of your posts intrigued me, just had to check this one out. :D

I am AB, but I suffer from Migraines and have compazine suppositories on hand in case of nausea. I keep them in the fridge and it doesn't seem to affect the strength. Luckily I have an extra refrigerator in my laundry room near my master bedroom. We have a lot of visitors who come to visit throughout the year and I don't want to scare them by leaving my prescription bottle in the fridge with the food. I know, I really shouldn't care, it's not as if I reuse the suppositories and put them back in the fridge. :D

I'm sure as long as the temps are under 86 degrees, which I believe a fridge is about 40 degrees or so, it should be fine. Good luck!

When this happens to me I run them unopened under cold water for just a little bit or let it sit in a cup of cold water with maybe an ice cube. Firms it up long enough to be inserted.

That's what I do, too. It works, trust me.
