left lamictal + lexapro in heat for 4 hours

Probably around 85 to 90 degrees.
It was hot enough to melt chocolate
Do you think the medicine is still good?

I'd call a pharmacy to be sure. But if one orders their meds via the net and are shipped are they shipped under proper conditions? I always wonder this?

95f is only marginaly higher than the recomended storage temp, if you stored it like that for a period of monthhs you might have a problem, but not for a period of hours.

I went ahead and got a new refill of these meds anyway. I don't want to waste time on a posdibly defective med. I had left dark chocolate in the heat too and it didn't melt but was discolored. So I don't want to take my chances.

Better safe than with a med that you didn't feel right about. Phillipa
