Having Remitting Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis or primary and secondary progressive MS with relapses, over the course of time, you most likely will be needing frequent medications. Since you need to ensure timely intake of these medications, it makes you feel confined to your homes.

The added challenge arises from the temperature sensitivity of these medicines, making it difficult to carry them when leaving your home.

COOL*SAFE offers a practical alternative to hospitalization with a special model for attaching medicine pumps, so that you can be treated with refrigerated medication and infusions in a bag even in the comfort of your own home.

Why only COOL*SAFE?

Certified cool bags

COOL*SAFE cool bags are TÜV-certified and internationally recognized to keep your cold chain-required medicines and test strips consistently cool (2 – 8 °C) for extended periods.  These are the only cool bags with an impressive 17.5 hours cooling duration — depending on the ambient temperatures and the cold bag model.

Protection against freezing

COOL*SAFE protects your medication from freezing or heating up. Investing in your own COOL*SAFE allows you to permanently protect your medicines from the harmful effects of a temperature drop below +2 °C.

No side effects

The molecular structure of your medication is destroyed if your medication becomes too cold. As a result, there is a risk that it will lose its efficacy and your disease will progress unnecessarily. A damaged medicine, in its turn, is not meant to be injected into our bodies. Therefore, unforeseen side effects and allergic reactions can occur. Most commercially available medication cooler bags will freeze your medication. COOL*SAFE uses sophisticated and patented technology to ensure that your medication does not get too cold.

Versatility

With an internationally patent design, COOL*SAFE cool bags are available in various sizes (Protect S, Protect M, Protect L, with heart design, as a backpack). You can transport your medicines anywhere with COOL*SAFE cool bags that meet your needs and aesthetic preferences.

Why are all other cool bags dangerous for your medicine?​

Storing your medicine outside the recommended temperature range could make it ineffective within the first five minutes.

The use of uncertified cool bags poses an additional risk, potentially causing your drugs to freeze.

This not only compromises their efficacy but also introduces harmful side effects.

What do Doctors and Pharmacists often ignore?​

Often healthcare professionals, including doctors and pharmacists, do not educate patients about the importance of proper medication storage temperature due to their lack of time. Above all, they do not explain the need for safe refrigeration when travelling with these medicines or simply picking them up from the pharmacy.

It’s a fact that often goes overlooked, potentially impacting the effectiveness of the treatment.
