My Advil pills are stuck together due to the heat? Should still take them?

[Anonymous]

I have horrible cramps and the only thing that helps is Advil. However the only Advil I have is all stuck together since I left it I the car...should I still take them if I can get them apart?

All I know is the potency of medicine decreases when they are under extreme heat.

But will anything else happen? Should I take them?

Thank you

I use to be addicted to Avila because I would get those terrible cramps to. Now I don't take any pills and just deal with the cramps and headaches naturally. It's increases your pain tolerance and decreases chances of liver problems. I'm glad I don't take pills anymore because it permanently wrecked my liver. Just saying it's can also damage your kidnys

if I don't take advil, I seriously get stuck in my bed for days. I lose my appetite and get sick and nauseous. its the only way I could get passed the pain so I could go about my day. but your right...i can't be dependent on pain killers

It should be fine, because that's just the outer coating that makes it dissolve slower. Go ahead and take it with a glass of milk or a little food.

It is fine to take then, NO more than 4 pills at any one time. You could also put them in the freezer for a short period of time, tap the bottle gently on a hard surface and then should come apart. REMEMBER, no more than 4 as an initial dose.

I'd think they're still fine to take.

The only reason they are stuck together is that the candy coating they put on it so it doesn't taste like crap melted. The meds should be fine. As you stated the only thing that could have changed is they got less potent.
