Storage Temperature

I accidentally left my duac tube in my car while I was at work. It recommends that it is stored at 77 degrees. However, I am sure that inside my car it reached over 100 degrees today. Does anyone know if this will affect Duac? Can I still use my prescription or do I need to get it refilled?

I see this was posted several weeks ago, did you ask your doctor, or pharmacist?

Usually, the excess heat can cause the ointment to start breaking down, but it can really depend on how long it was exposed to such temperatures.
