Good morning, can Vibin birth control pills lose their effectiveness if they are stored in a closed cabinet on which the sun has been falling for an hour?

For @Ola: As I have already written, Vibin tablets should be stored at a temperature below 30° C. Tablets stored in this way retain their properties and can be taken.
The temperature in the cabinet was 20 ° C. In this case, if the sun was shining on the cabinet (through the window) and not directly on the tablets, can I still take them?

Vibin tablets should be stored at a temperature below 30 ° C. It seems to me unlikely that in the described case there could be excessive exposure to high temperature, since the cabinet was closed and the sun "rained" - as I understand it - from the outside, through the window (we have winter), only for an hour. However, drugs are best moved to the coolest place in the house, which is not exposed to solar radiation, either direct or indirect.
