Will low temperature affect the effectiveness and durability of birth control pills?
It is winter and snow and I had birth control pills in my purse and it was very cold outside because it was -9, can this cause the pills to lose their value? Composition.

To @Paula:
No, this temperature does not affect the effectiveness of the Vibin mini.
To maintain their effect, they should be stored at a temperature not exceeding 30°C.
Hello. Can storing the vibin mini contraceptive pill in a closed car without heating for a little over 4 hours, where it was about 10°C to 5°C outside (the temperature dropped) negatively affect their effectiveness?

Storing birth control pills for 1-2 hours at low temperature (in the original packaging + bag) should not affect the effectiveness and durability of the contraceptive pills. In the case of long-term exposure to low temperatures (several hours to several days), we are no longer sure. Manufacturers usually recommend a room temperature of 15-25 degrees when it comes to storage conditions for tablets. If you notice any visual changes on the tablets, please start a new blister. In the future, it is better to take a tablet before leaving home than to take a pack of medicine with you for a few / several hours on cold days.
