Urgent response required

I live in a relatively hot and humid place, so my question is that can methylprednisolone (Solu-Medrol) be stored in the fridge? The fridge goes down to about 5 dec C and the instructions on the box says to store below 25 dec C.... but my room temperature is about 29 deg C. What do I do?

The caregiver said to store it in the fridge for now, but I'm wondering if this will render the product ineffective.

Any thoughts?

Call your local pharmacy and ask them if temperatures deviating from the recommended temperature on the box would affect the efficacy of the medication (solumedrol).

Sorry I could not be of more help -- but I think they would know the chemical properties and damage (if any) due to temperatures.  My guess no since it is not "extreme".
