Correct answer: CKeep it cool during transport and refrigerate it promptly according to product instructions

Temperature-sensitive medicines require practical storage advice after supply. In this scenario, the pharmacist should prioritise safe supply, appropriate counselling and timely referral or clarification where needed. This is the single best answer because the other options would either delay assessment, ignore a clinically significant risk, or create an unsafe legal or professional outcome.
