Can heat waves affect how well the pill works?
- Most medicines, including many contraceptive pills, should be stored below 25 degrees Celsius to maintain their effectiveness, as explained by pharmacist Ana Carolina Goncalves.
- Combined contraceptive pills containing estrogen and progestogen require storage below 25 degrees, while some other pills need to be kept below 30 degrees.
- Heat can reduce the potency of the active ingredients and damage the tablet's coating, affecting how the medicine is released and absorbed.
- Storing contraceptive pills in hot environments like parked cars, direct sunlight, or humid areas can compromise their hormone delivery and reduce pregnancy prevention reliability.
