nuvaring stored above recommended temperature Posted: 07-04-08 17:37pm


i am carrying 4 months of nuvaring with me while i travel this summer, and i am pretty sure that the bag the medication is in has been exposed to temperatures above the recommended 86 degrees. what does this mean in terms of my protection against pregnancy? are they all going to be ineffective now? does it matter how long they were above temp? if so, what are the guidelines? please advise!!!

Period duration while exposed on temperatures higher than recommended is probably important but there are no guidelines. If you want to be 100% sure you can bye another Nuvaring.

I would try calling the number on the box if there is one and asking the support line about the facts involving this. I'm not sure if there are any studies out there on it, but if anyone would know, it would be the manufacturers. I agree with Dr. Nikola, if you want to be 100% protected I would buy a new ring just in case.
