Can left vines tablets in the car for a few hours on a hot day lose their effect or should nothing happen?

Thank you for your reply. I have one more question about the lack of a placebo pill break. Should I replace the placebo tablets with the active tablets from the 1st row of the new blister and then continue the blister with the placebo tablets, or do I have to take an additional 7 active tablets while it is time for the placebo and then start a new blister?

To @alaa:
Leaving Vibin mini contraceptive pills in a hot car for a few hours should not affect their effectiveness.
, but there is no certainty that the pill has lost its effect. If it was the first pill in the third row and you did not take an extra pill the next day, your risk of getting pregnant may increase. You can continue to take more pills from the next blister to maintain contraceptive continuity. If in doubt, it is worth consulting a doctor.
Hello, I was recently on a trip and I took Vibin mini contraceptive pills with me, which I had to leave for about 3 hours in the car (in the original packaging and in a thermal insulation bag). When I came back, the car was hot, so I'm not sure if the pill worked. It was the first pill from the 3rd row, i.e. the 15th tablet, the rest I took from another blister. If it turns out that the pill did not work, is it enough not to take a break between blisters for contraception to be preserved? I would like to add that the next day after taking the pill left in the car, I did not take an additional pill.

Nie ma niestety sposobu, aby to łatwo i jednoznacznie ocenić. Vines należy przechowywać w temperaturze poniżej 30°C, w oryginalnym opakowaniu w celu
ochrony przed światłem i wilgocią. Jeśli temperatura w aucie nieznacznie przekroczyła ten pułap i trwało to stosunkowo krótko, to najprawdopodobniej nie powinno to mieć wpływu na jakość i działanie.
Niemniej leki nie powinny być przechowywane w nagrzanym samochodzie - uważa się, że w zamkniętym aucie pozostawionym na słońcu temperatura może sięgnąć nawet 70 stopni Celsjusza. Pogorszenie jakości leków może wynikać także, jeśli zostaną pozostawione w bezpośrednim narażeniu na promieniowanie.
