Good morning
My birth control pills were lying in a drawer under the ceramic hob for 3 days. During this time, I cooked a few times, but not on all the burners and rather not directly under the pills. I have a question, is there a chance that they are already to be thrown away? However, is the ingredient still active there, given that the temperature higher than 30 degrees was rather sporadic during these 3 days

Contraceptive pills should be stored below 30°C. If the temperature in the drawer has only been higher occasionally and not for a long time, the active ingredients are probably not damaged. Nevertheless, to be sure, you may consider consulting your doctor to make sure that the pills are still safe to use.
