Q: Birth Control Pills and Heat
asked by: tletrice on July 6th, 2007
New User
I carry my birth control with me in my purse, and I was wondering is it a good idea to keep it in my purse with the weather being super hot over here on the west coast. Or should I just take the one I need for the day out and leave the rest at home. They say that the heat can alter the chemicals in the pills. Just curious....

You can carry them with you in a purse, so long as it is not left in a car, or outside for too long.
