heat and birth control
| Fri, 08-13-2004 - 12:40am |
I just had my first child and am about to start birth control again, I went and picked my birth control up at the pharmacy and then left it out in the car for about 3 days before remembering it was in there, it was about 100 degrees out all three days and now I am not sure if it is safe to take the pills, I definately do not want to get pregnant again any time too soon. Does anyone know if heat ruins birth control pills? A quick reply would be real helpful ;o) thank you!

Heat can definitely ruin birth control pills! The question is, how much heat? It would be a good idea to ask your pharmacist and get a professional opinion, but if I were you I would NOT take the pills left in a very hot car for 3 days.
Good luck,
