They need to start teaching that corporate regulates store temperature when they teach that the hypothalamus regulates body temperature

Just get a thermometer at the highest/hottest point and let them know all your medications will have to be sent to Genco as damaged if they aren't brought to "standard room temperature" very soon.If you are referring to CVS being to hot in the pharmacy. You can always call corporate and beg for some air conditioning or..........get a hair dryer off the shelf and blow it on the thermostat in the pharmacy. after 3 or 4 minutes the air will come on for a period of time. May have to do it 3 or 4 times in a day but it works
I was under the impression that the upper limit of room temperature is 77 degrees. Wouldn't 80 degrees be a violation of drug storage standards according to the FDA?
What kind of time limit do you think is reasonable though? You always hear about the "temporary excursions permitted" when you receive an order with totes that are either cold or warm to the touch upon arrival. How long would something have to be at 80 degrees before you actually junked it?Interestingly enough when our AC went out during the summer my old PIC sent an email to the DM threatening to start expiring medications because they could not "in good faith dispense medications stored at temperatures above the product labeling".
We had temporary AC units in the store by later that evening.
Did we work in the same district? Doesn't surprise me a bit.One time the truck came and the day shift doesn't touch it and the night rph that week was a fill in who didn't touch it. Wasn't opened until the next week's night rph came in. They had to damage out the refrigerator totes. Unbelievably lazy techs and rphs there.

That's crazy. Even if there is no time to put up everything, it doesn't take that long to put up refrigerated totes. That should be a priority.
