Clindoxyl has been identified by PharmacyChecker as a medication that may require cold chain management during shipment to maintain efficacy and safety.

To ensure the cold chain integrity of insulin and other refrigerated pharmaceutical products both domestically and internationally, accredited dispensing pharmacies must ensure manufacturer-specific storage and shipping requirements. The US version of Neuac, the UK version of Duac, and New Zealand version of Duac require refrigeration. The Canadian version of Clindoxyl ADV gel requires refrigeration. The Canadian and Turkish versions of Clindoxyl gel require refrigeration. The Canadian benzoyl peroxide/clindamycin gel requires refrigeration. Pharmacies are required to keep refrigerated for long-term storage, but the Canadian Benzaclin and generic benzoyl peroxide/clindamycin kit do not require refrigeration.

The PharmacyChecker International Pharmacy Verification Program (IPVP) enforces rigorous standards for the international shipment of products requiring refrigeration. Only PharmacyChecker-accredited dispensing pharmacies located in Tier 1 countries that also hold PharmacyChecker cold chain certification are authorized to internationally dispense and/or ship refrigerated products.

Online pharmacies partnering with accredited dispensing pharmacies that meet cold-chain certification requirements may list prices for refrigerated medications under the "International Price Comparison" tab.

Pharmacies listing refrigerated product prices on PharmacyChecker.com must demonstrate ongoing compliance with IPVP cold chain certification requirements.

We strongly recommend patients avoid ordering refrigerated medications—or any medicines—online from websites that are not verified by the PharmacyChecker International Pharmacy Verification Program or another comparable verification program.
