Hello Crafty -gran.

Do your drops need to go in the fridge ? The patient information leaflet will tell you at what temperature they should be stored. Many drops have different requirements. If they have been in the incorrect environment for some hours then it is probably best to ask the pharmacist before using them.

Best wishes

Single-dose drops doesn't need refrigator storage. Room temp up to 25 C is OK.
