[RegAffairs]Stability testing

["Stein" <stein@lyftingsmo.no>]

Hello everybody

On more and more medicine packages it is printed
'Store below 25 Centigrades' and similar messages.
I suppose this is not necessarily because the medicine or substance becomes
substandard, but more because this is what they have tested.

But this message makes people store their tablets in the refrigerator.

Is high humidity (like in refrigerators) included in the conditions required
for stability testing?
