A member asked:
Can humidity affect the potency of prescription medication? for example, if the medication stored in room temperature (68f to 79f) and the humidity is 60% and higher would that harm the medicine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Always read the instruction sheets before using. Many medications are affected by heat, humidity, cold, sunlight and other factors .Also the potency decreases with age of mediation, some must be used within 6 months to a year.
