All medicines contain substances that are sensitive to certain conditions, including temperature, so it will be useful to know how heat can affect the medicines.
A study reported by Medical Express recommended that most over-the-counter and prescription medications be stored at what's known as a "controlled room temperature" of 25 degrees Celsius.
Medicines are manufactured to very strict specifications, and whenever possible, these products are designed to remain stable at room temperature.
Extreme temperatures can affect drug efficacy, according to the study, which is why it's important to pay attention to storage instructions on the label. Although some medications may be more tolerant of temperature changes, liquid medications, such as insulin, are sensitive to temperature.
The active chemicals in a drug change in molecular shape when exposed to different temperatures, which can cause the drug to break down. This breakdown can make the drugs less effective and may lead to new or different effects.
