Abstract
People can damage their medicines by taking them outside in hot or cold weather. On the other hand, some people need to carry their medicines with them wherever they go (even if the weather is extremely hot or cold). Specially constructed storage systems can protect medicines from damage due to hot and cold weather without requiring bulky structures or expensive components that consume electricity to regulate temperature.

A medicine storage system comprising:
- an insulated container having an opening;
- a lid configured to cover the opening;
- a phase change system located inside the insulated container;
- and
- a tube located inside the insulated container such that the tube is in fluid communication with the opening, wherein the storage system is configured to enable inserting a medicine through the opening and into the tube,
- wherein the phase change system comprises a first phase change material and a second phase change material, the first phase change material having a first melting temperature greater than 40 degrees Fahrenheit and less than 74 degrees Fahrenheit, and the second phase change material having a second melting temperature greater than 74 degrees Fahrenheit and less than 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
