Is Clexane Stored At Normal Temperatures Safe To Take?

Question: I ordered Clexane 20mg from a pharmaceutical company. I received the package. The problem is however, I am unsure if the box was stored at temperature below 25 degrees Celsius. I live in the tropics and for 3 days the box was in a post-office that doesn't have air-condition. My question - is it safe to use the Clexane? How can I get it tested?
Brief Answer:
Can use Clexane...
Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
I have gone through your queries and understood your concerns.
You can keep Clexane at 30 degrees Celsius, away from sunlight and for short periods of time (3 days).
Even if you are at tropics, if the box was in a post-office without air-con in, it stayed away from direct sunlight where the temperatures might be less than 30 degrees.
To me, it seems that it is ok to use your Clexane. If you notice anything unusual, stop taking it, and contact your doctor.
All the best!
