PreP left inside car 74 degree weather
I accidentally left my prep bottle in my backpack in my car on about 4 separate occasions for no more than 4hrs and I’m worried that it will no longer be effective. No texture or color has changed. Should I be worried?
I do think sometimes medications have temperatures they recommend you store them at. I'd hate for you to have to buy another bottle. But that was likely too hot for it to be sure it will be of optimal potency. Would I take it and not worry? Yes. But I couldn't recommend for you to do that. Talk to a pharmacist, or call the manufacturer or your doctor. Let us know what they say.
