Title: Evorel storage temperature query
Post by: Dandelion on January 15, 2015, 11:46:04 AM

I have my pack of evorel patches in a box, and I was tidying up on Monday morning and I put the heating on.
I think the box was in the heat for about half an hour.
The tin was by the radiator so the evorel got a bit warm.
I read that it is not supposed to be stored above temperatures of 25 degrees C.
I have been sweating a bit but I still do from time to time throughout the month as I have not been on them for thrree months.
Im due to change it tonight.
I only realised today that the patches are not supposed to be stored above 25 Degrees C
I rang the doctors and  a new packet of patches will be in the chemists tomorrow.
This means that I have been using patches that are possibly not working all week.
Will this be ok if I just continue as normal, I'm on day 24 of cycle

Thanks

It's probably fine. They are very well sealed. My flat gets above 25 degrees easily in the summer IF it's hot, and nothing has 'gone off' so far, or not that I've noticed.
Yours was very short term too.
