My heater broke sometime during the night last night, I had a few months supply of asacol in the room...Room temperature was about 50 lowering to 42 for two hours before I woke up at 7:00 AM, and turned on the other heater...Im wondering weather this messd up my meds??? Any thoughts? Leaflet reads 61 to 78%'s...

Its a ceramic floor heater, I live on a sailboat, and I usually bring the meds under the covers with me every night during the winter months, just for that particular possibility, and last night, I forgot to do just that, and low and behold, thats the night the heater brakes...lol...Just my luck...lol...I called a few pharmacists and they said the same thing you did, so Im not gonna stress over it...Thanks for the reply, hope you have a great day...

Brief drops below room temperature are fine. Afterall, we gotta get these meds home from the pharmacy in paper bags, during the chilly winter months.

Proper storage of mesalamine delayed-release tablets:
Store mesalamine delayed-release tablets at room temperature, between 68 and 77 degrees F (20 and 25 degrees C). Brief storage at temperatures between 59 and 86 degrees F (15 and 30 degrees C) is permitted. Store away from heat, moisture, and light. Do not store in the bathroom.

I'd be more concerned about nads than meds -

and holy crap, i hope you're not trying to use any rectal meds in those temps shocked
