I got concerned with this matter because I stored my medicine inside my cabinet. There was an instruction that it should be stored between 15-30 degrees. This afternoon, I felt that the temperature inside of my cabinet is more than 30 degrees. I read that medicines do breakdown when stored in a hot temperature. If it did ever happen to my medicine, will it still be able to regain its proper composition and be as effective as it should be? I began to store it inside the refrigerator, will this solve the breakdown of the medicine? Calling some of the good doctors there who can enlighten me about this matter.

I take poppers (iso-butyl nitrite) and, admittedley, have not felt any deleterious effects. I do realize that this is no indication that there have been no deleterious effects and was wondering if there is any scientific evidence for any.

Thank you
