Please give me some advice, I would not like to give up my passions, but I would also like not to change the form of contraception

Tak jak Pani zauważyła, w ulotce leku wyraźnie napisano, iż tabletek nie należy przechowywać w temperaturze powyżej 30 °C. Długotrwałe przechowywanie leków w takiej temperaturze (zwłaszcza hormonów czy antybiotyków) może wpłynąć negatywnie na ich właściwości.

Ważne jest, aby lek nie był narażony na bezpośrednie oddziaływanie promieni słonecznych. Przebywając na biwaku można np. przechowywać tabletki w małym styropianowym boksie do transportu leków, podczas spływu lek należy przechowywać tak, aby nie padały na niego promienie słoneczne i aby nie był narażony na działanie wilgoci, np. w torebce termoizolacyjnej ze struną. Torebkę taką można zakupić w aptece.
Dostępność w aptekach w Warszawie można sprawdzić tutaj: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/87383/apteo-care-torebka-termoizolacyjna-wielokrotnego-uzytku-pojemnik/apteki/w-warszawie

Proszę pamiętać, iż "przechowywanie" oznacza długotrwałe przetrzymywanie leku w danym miejscu. 2-3 dniowe narażenie leku na wyższe temperatury nie powinno mu zaszkodzić (jeśli nie będzie narażony na bezpośrednio na działanie promieni słonecznych). Jeśli lek będzie przechowywany w oryginalnym opakowaniu, dodatkowo umieści Pani tabletki w torebce termoizolacyjnej ze struną, całość zostanie umieszczona na dnie plecaka, lek nie zmieni swoich właściwości i ochrona antykoncepcyjna zostanie zachowana.

I would add that when I removed the pills from the suitcase wszytskie things were warm as well as the box of these tablets.czy despite this skutevkosx is preserved?

For @Gabriela: If temperatures above 30°C persist in the apartment / house for a long time, it is recommended to store medicines in the coldest room in a lockable cabinet, preferably near the floor and without access to sunlight. In addition, you can consider using a heat-insulating bag or thermobox. If the temperature usually does not exceed 30°C in the place where Vines tablets are constantly stored, this effect is preserved.

And if every day I keep vines tablets in the cabinet and it does not fall on the sun but it is hot as now, for example, after 30 or over degrees, can it somehow disturb the operation of vines?

To @Gabriela: As stated below, "storage" means long-term retention of the drug in a given place. Therefore, a 4-hour journey by car will not affect the effectiveness of your pills.

So I ask more precisely, if there is a temperature outside, for example, these 30 degrees k, if in such weather kwchalam 4 hours by car with pills and bull they are hidden in a backpack that I had with me in sampcjdoze but on this backpack through the windows wiaosmo could fall sun, whether such a road in one direction 4 gidz and the other also about 5 can affect the reduction of effectiveness? I take them in the morning so I don't take them to the beach, it's just about this route by car

Good morning, I have such a situation namely. I am currently our sea about taking vines pills. And my question is whether I store them well because. In the car kwchalam with them 4 hours, you know, now it is summer, hot, I think it could have been 30 degrees and if the milakm tablets hidden in a backpack so that the sun does not reach the box, I do not untie my pockets, including backpacks, could this temperature flow to reduce the effectiveness? Being by the sea, I have hidden tablets in the cabinet, but also these 4.5 hours I will return in this car, so if I store these pills in this way, can they work badly? To the sea nihzeo I do not take them that soy only zpsyaiwwm in the place of sleep. But can this expensive car and both steome affect the effectiveness of sxi if it stores them in a backpack?
