Does a phase-change pack hold a tirzepatide shipment for forty-two days in transit?

Asked 28 Jun 2025Modified 13 months agoViewed 21k times

What I am working with: tirzepatide · forty-two days.

I would rather understand the derivation than memorise the outcome.

Two people I asked gave two answers that differ by a factor of ten, which is suggestive.

Can someone walk through the arithmetic step by step?
