Use a small purpose-built refrigerator for storing drugs. It should have a solid lockable door and be attached to a wall. Available units usually have a conventional refrigerant system with inert refrigerant gas (CFC, HCFC and Ammonia free).
Some standards are set by agencies such as the [[http://www.rpharms.com/ Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain]] (RPSGB).
Keep an inventory and log book inside the fridge.
Storage practices and loading configurations should not lead to the obstruction of air distribution.
