Is Progesterone Capsule Exposed To The Outside Environment Safe?
Question: I picked up my progesterone capsule prescription and left the bottle in the car for about 2 hours. It was about 38 F. Is the medication okay to take? I have been taking it for my pregnancy. Please advise. Thanks!
Brief Answer:
Can be consumed
Detailed Answer:
Hello Mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
Yes dear you can very well take it as it can maintain its efficacy for about 20-22 hours in outside environment so not an issue but in future avoid keeping it at temperatures above 30 degrees and preferably below 20 degrees.
Also can you tell me the brand name and strength of progesterone tablet.
waiting for your response.
