I left my birth control in the car overnight. its getting down to 27 should i be worried about the effectiveness???

Most oral contraceptives should be stored at room temperature (68-77 F). The effectiveness may be lost with freezing temperature overnight. You better check with your pharmacist to be safe. Take care.
