Hi Charlie,

Welcome to HCM.

For any drug to act effectively, it has to be maintained in its temperature to get the benefit. If lantus is kept in sun then it is efficiency is reduced so the drug efficiency is reduced or may even be lost completely,which can also causes adverse reactions when used.

Hope i answered your query.
