Birth control: In general you should not leave any medication in your car. Depending on how long you have been on the pill, the chances of you being pregnant are relative. Suggest you get a new prescription and consult your GYN if you are worried, but usually OK unless you just started the pill. If you are off schedule in any way, please get a pregnancy test.
