A CVS Pharmacy in Switzerland County has reopened after a failed air conditioner concerned health officials due to impact on prescriptions.

The store is located at 703 E. Main St. in Vevay.

Nick Goodwin, communications director for the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency noted that the refrigerating unit had also been compromised due to high, in-store temperatures, which resulted in drugs potentially being dispensed above the manufacturer recommended levels for safe, public consumption.

A pharmacist at the store confirmed Monday that the air conditioning unit had been repaired and the location was evaluated by the pharmacy board. The CVS reopened Monday.
