Yes: Yes Sir, it is possible to damage and inactivate meds each medicine has storage information in the package insert and pharmacists are the experts to talk with regarding whether they are still safe. Good luck

It can damage any: liquid meds and their containers. Other meds that should be kept at room temperature may do ok overnight but shouldn't be left in your car for any length of time regardless of the weather. Dr. Anne
