The UCB product just states should be stored below 25 degrees.

Please always read the storage information on the outer pack of any product or the product insert, which is mandatory for all products and manufatureres to mention. Each strength/ pack size/brand/ company may have different storage conditions. Eg. Daktacort cream 30g (or 15g parallel Import) [POM] to be stored between 2-8 (fridge) but Daktacort Hydrocortisone cream 15g is an OTC to be stored at room temperature and Daktacort ointment 30g store at room temperature. It all depends on the formulation/ additives. The best way always is to keep an eye on the deliveries from the wholesellers (AAH, Unichem etc) they always keep fridge items seperate as they are non returnable.
