Hi @aunt_flo 🙂 Ideally, most medications should be kept within 15-25 degrees celcius. Temps outside of that range don’t automatically make The Pill useless or dangerous, but it can become less effective. When in doubt, use a back-up method of contraception like condoms or the Emergency Contraceptive Pill.
Some tips for keeping your medications safe when traveling: bring them in carry-on bags when flying. Baggage holds are not temperature controlled and can become extremely hot or freezing cold. Similarly, cars temps can skyrocket very quickly on a hot day. Don’t leave your medicines (or condoms!) in a parked car.
For more advice about the safe storage of specific medications you’re using, it’s best to check with your local pharmacist 🙂
