Veritiv launches compact cold chain package for GLP-1 pharmacy shipments

Veritiv has launched TempSafe RxShield, a compact cold chain packaging product for specialty pharmacies handling refrigerated GLP-1 therapies and other temperature-sensitive drugs. The package weighs about 240 grams, holds up to four 10 mL vials, maintains refrigerated temperatures for up to 30 hours and is validated to ISTA 7E standards; it is now available through Veritiv's US cold chain distribution network.
