Q: Left Bc In Hot Car
asked by: AmbeOC on July 13th, 2004

Hey all!
I managed to leave my bc in my purse which was in my car during class the other day.

It was close to 80 degrees outside. So lets say, worst case scenario, that the inside of my car was around 95-100 degrees. They were in the car for about 4 hours.

This is the first and only time my bc has been exposed to this kind of heat. Should I be worried? Has it rendered my pills uneffective?

Thanks,
ambe

I'd say contact your doctor or clinic immediatly. I know my pills are allowed to be left anywhere from 59 to 85 degrees. So i'd call and ask if they're still effective right away.
