a result of continuous electrical power outages which is permanently subjected our country, we have observed the deterioration in production and conservation of goods and services to the population. In this category of assets affected by the blackouts, we found a group of drugs to be effective, require stored in suitable locations with controlled temperature not exceeding 30 °, with the exception of those that must be kept between 2 and 8 ยบ C (thermolabile) and which the manufacturer warns that possibility and indicated on the package . When the cold chain failure, drugs deteriorate physical and chemical changes occur that make them less effective and compelling to dismiss them as not to cause harm. Such is the case of vaccines, toxoids , insulin, suppositories, gamma globulin, blood plasma, and antivenom all those preparations that once developed, we recommend refrigeration.
Article 63 of the Medicines Act provides the pharmacist on duty to induce rational and safe use of medicines dispensed in pharmacies and public hospitals and private centers in the country, which means optimum environment conservation according to their characteristics. To fulfill this role, the pharmacist must ensure and take responsibility for the quality, preservation, custody and delivery of medicines for hospital and outpatient treatment activities that require particular vigilance, monitoring and control. In the same sense expressed in Article 7 of the Regulation of Law Practice of Pharmacy establishes that the rulers and owners of pharmaceutical establishments are responsible for the purity and legitimacy of the products that sell or offer for sale or used in the preparation of their preparations and therefore they bear the obligation to check its purity before offering them for consumption, which necessarily involves cooling in appropriate cases.

sometimes in the context presented, the national electricity system crisis impact on such conservation work preventing medication is already exposed. Thus, the decline in the conservation and quality of the product can not be attributed to the ruler and set the standard, and that is not in your area to handle the failure of the electricity sector, as this is a public service that exclusively own and exclusive monopolized by the state.
Apparently, the power sector crisis in our country has no immediate solution, so we can only warn the community, if you need to consume a drug that has been long time outside the cold chain, consult a pharmacist you trust about their conditions and avoid fatal accidents.
