Do not store above 25oC, do not refrigerate

I am on the pill (Marvelon) and on the instructions it says ´do not store above 25oC, do not refrigerate´. Given that where I am it often is well above 40oC what am I meant to do? I think I´ve already fried my pills anyway as the first week I got to Brazil it was 45oC and I hadn´t read the instructions about storage so I left them in the heat but then if they can´t go in the fridge there isn´t much alternative. I´m sticking to condoms as well although I`m not sure that I trust Brazilian ones and I haven´t got any others. Anyone know anything about this one?

Look in anything goes for fridges - we were discussing what's called a cooler fridge that uses a fan to make the inside cooler - it's not as cool inside as a regular fridge about 15C in testing - but I have a theory that the hotter your climate the colder these things get on the inside.
You could also put the packet the pills come in - into a water proof plastic bag and put that in a container of water - that will help keep them cool.
that should be fine!!
now get off the computer and work on your tan!!
