A member asked:
I left my birth control in my purse in the car for several hours, several days, & im sure it was above 90f temp. could it no longer prevent pregnancy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
BCP: Check the package insert for recommended storage temperatures, or ask your pharmacist. Also, missing pills for several days will be as much as an issue as temperature.
