Tylenol infant drops still safe to give if left in the diaper bag in van while HOT out

My Dd is sick and I was going to give her some infant drops but came to find out I accidently left the bottle in the diaper bag when it's over 80 degrees here and I am sure the van is over 100 inside. SHould I give the drops to her anyways or go buy a new bottle (the one in the van is new as well !) I tried calling Tylenol and they asked what product (not a real person ) and I said Infant drops and they repeated COPECTATE !!!! WTF that isn't even close to what I said . I just hung up.
Would it be safe or no ??

  • i would think its fine.
    Look on the bottle though, they typically say what temperatures it should be stored at. Id probably use it though.

  • Call Walgreen or CVS and ask the pharmacist, they will be able to tell you. I would think it would be too hot to use. It has to be stored at a certain temp to be safe and effective.

  • like other poster said, check with a pharmacist or call your doctor. They are almost always willing to help.
