Are there any pharmacists in here? I read that drug shelf life degrades faster in microgravity and repackaging drugs pre-flight to fit better doesnt help. Do you all know if anything is done in the packaging phase to mitigate that? Looking at a technology to improve this phase but wanted to ask someone about what NASA already does to see if its even something that’s needed.
Thanks!
There are some AWGers who put “pharma” in their expertise, or pharma-related researchers or those who have used some countermeasure in their space science. Tagging them here. Maybe worth direct messaging? Or I would perhaps raise this idea-question in upcoming AWG mtg

There is a team at NASA working on this, primarily John Reichard. Here are some recent publications:
