Asthma - Advair Diskus Heat Exposure

What will happen if I continue to take Advair Diskus after it was left in a car (about 90-95 degrees) for 2-4 hours? Is it still safe?

Thanks for the replies,

Luckily, my prescription refilled only 2 days later (1 week earlier than expected) so I just stopped taking the Advair and threw it away. I'm now using a new one. My main concern was being off of the medication for a long period of time as my asthma drastically gets worse when it's not controlled.

Well...it won't kill you, but will lose effectiveness in helping with your asthma.

Hmmmmmm that's hard ,..... I would call the company and see what they say.  Was it in direct sun?

It is allowed brief exposure up to 86 degrees so you were only a little higher than that.  Up to you and your doctor if you want to take the risk.  The product probably has not been tested under those conditions so it may or may not be dangerous.
