Are my pills still effective?

Hello, today I’ve kept my contraceptive pills for about 1,5h in my hip pocket. After I took them out the silver blister felt a little warm. Does that mean that they could have gotten too hot and because of that they might be ineffective?

Well, the company who manufactured them may say yes if they were at a hot temperature for too long.  How long is too long?  That is dependent. And do I really believe it?  No.  I'd take it and not worry.  But that's me.  Otherwise, dump the pill and take one that wasn't left out. good luck
