High temperatures threatens efficacy of mail-order meds, NY Times says

Doctors and pharmacists warn scorching temperatures across the country could be endangering people’s health by overheating their mail-order medications, Emily Baumgaertner of The New York Times reports. Millions of Americans receive their prescription medications through mail-order shipments, but the temperatures inside the cargo areas of delivery trucks can reach 150 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer, far exceeding the range of 68 to 77 recommended for drug handling. Some stocks in the space include Cigna (CI), UnitedHealth (UNH), and CVS (CVS).
