For convenience, I recently started putting some of my medications in my cars glovebox and kept most of the same medications inside also, as many of the them require two to three times a day administration and application. None of these over the counter and prescription medications impair my ability to drive, so please don’t tamper off the question itself at all.

The creams seem indicate that they’d like to stay stored below 25 c (77 f), and the tablets seem to indicate that they wouldn’t mind a bit of extra heat and to keep stored at below 30 c (86 f). As I don’t have a thermometer, I’m wondering if this is suitable, or if it would affect my topical and systemic medications negatively in some way?

I also have a tube of sunscreen among them, not sure what it says, but it should take some heat as it is made for sun exposure, correct?

The car is a large silver sedan, I virtually always have it parked outdoors in a car park or outside my house, usually in the sun, as it is summer where I live now. When I get in the car during the day, it is usually heated pretty darn bad, requiring the windows to be opened promptly but I’m not sure if the glovebox is less heated, or if the whole heat thing at this intensity is really all it is cracked up to be.

If it turns out that I should not store them in my glovebox, would storing them in the boot of my car (or in between the seats) and zip them up inside one of those insulated lunch boxes be sufficient?

Thank you for any help
