Birth Control - storage


Expert: Norman Solberg - 10/16/2009

Question
I had misplaced my birth control pills and just found them in the freezer. Are they still effective to take? They have been there for a day and a half.  Thank you!

Answer
I don't know the answer and am having a hard time finding the answer.  I suspect that maybe nobody knows, but a pharmacist would be the best person to ask.  It's recommended to keep birth control pills at room temperature.  My instinct tells me that they are probably still good after 1-2 days in a freezer, but unless you get that verified by a pharmacist, you might not want to rely on it.
