Posted on Sun, 5 May 2019
Question: By mistake I had my lezapro pills in a sealed bag with other stuff in refrigerator for 7 or 8 hrs. The pills are in the bottle. No moisture on pills. The pills do not feel ok. The pills are in a safe place now. Is it ok to take those pills?

Brief Answer:
Yes it should be ok

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

In my opinion, you can safely take these pills. Refrigeration should not alter its properties or potency. Humidity in fridge may reduce its bioavailablity SLIGHTLY. Low temperature is not much of a problem to tablets.
What do you mean by the sentence the pills do not feel ok?

Hope it helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.

That sentence about pills do not feel ok was a mistake. I meant the pills look ok. No moisture on pills. Thank you for your time. I am satisfied with your answer. Kind regards, Denise XXXXXXX
