It is better to avoid

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for the query.

I believe that you mean enema for nausea as suppositories(to be placed in the rectum) drugs which is used to control nausea. I would like to know the name of the drug.

As it was supposed to be refrigerated, many drugs lose their efficacy if exposed to normal temperature for longer time. So, I suggest you to discard those medications.
