Post Partum Hemorrhage Kit

The following drugs are needed for post partum hemorrhage: oxytocin vial, methylergonovine vial, carboprost vial, tranexamic acid 1 gram infusion bag, and misoprostol 200 mcg tabs x 4. The Birthing Center wants them in a kit (not an Omnicell virtual kit). The challenge is that methylergonovine and carboprost are typically stored under refrigeration. Does your organization have a physical kit and how is it stored?
