Storing T3 tablets in the fridge (hot climate)

Hello :) I am currently in a country where it is very hot. I will be staying in a hotel for 3 months, it does not have air conditioner, just a ventilator (long story) and room temperature on hot days is +35C . However, the room has a little fridge with +6C temp inside it. Can I store my tablets in there, do you think? It has been in the fridge the second it got hot in the room, so for 3 days.

Tablets are in blisters, not in the bottle, so I do not worry much about humidity.

I am very worried and any advice would be appreciated xxx

There should be a minimum and maximum temperature on the patient information form inside. It’s not advisable to keep your T3 on the door as when you open it it changes quickly. I would t worry if you have access to a fridge. Leave them in there as it’s hot. What country are you in btw?
