I've carried it on a hiking trail where the temperature reached 45 degrees C and still no problem. I believe Lantus can lose some of it's effectiveness after a period of time, but have yet to experience that (I don't carry Lantus around with me, but I don't refrigerate it either, after it's open - it lives in a drawer next to my bed). Regards Guy Hi Tina

After my run in with the pharmacist I emailed my nurse practitioner and he verified the info I am quoting now. Thanks for sharing!
