A member asked:
Left my harmonet bc pills in the car for about a week where in the night temp is:-2 c but in the day goes up to 8 c. are they still safe to use?

I wouldn’t: The information about whether the drug is still good simply isn’t available, so you’d be using it at your own risk. The original manufacturer of one of the two active drugs in Harmonet recommends keeping the drug at between 20º to 25º C at all times, so I would not rely on that pack anymore. They’re even less reliable is if the tablets were exposed to light for an extended period of time.
