I accidentally left my birth control pack in my car, in 100 degree heat. it was in my purse under the seat, will it still work?

How long was the birth control pack exposed to these temperatures? Was your purse exposed to these temperatures on the inside or was the inside of your purse protected? You should call your doctor and have the pack replaced if there is any doubt in order to keep yourself protected form an unwanted pregnancy. Good luck!
