A member asked:
Are glucose tablets rendered ineffective when left in a hot car?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tablets: Medications should not be exposed to extremes of temperature. If the exposure was not many hours long and if the tablets appear to be intact without discoloration or powderization occurring, the tablets should still be usable.If you still have doubts, show them to your pharmacist for examination.
