So I am just full of random questions today... anyway, I was just wondering how many people here keep their pills at home or carry them around in a purse/backpack. My pill pack says I should store them between a certain temperature range, and I'm just wondering if it's safe to carry them around with me because I'm always going indoors, outdoors, etc. and the temperature fluctuates. I have a little side pocket in my purse that I keep them in, so they are always with me. I just don't think leaving them at home is an option for me because I am hardly ever home!

Your pills probably need to be kept at room temperature.

I take my pill at 4PM everyday. So if I am leaving before then and I know I won't be home to take them, then I take them with me. But if I leave after 4PM and have already taken it, I leave them at home.

I keep mine right on my nightstand so they're hard to overlook--I'd have to reach over them to reach tissues, lamp, phone, and other things.

I always kept mine on my vanity, that way there was no possible way I could miss them in the morning.
