Considering @Reno 's thread about CCO's (cheap Chinese optics), and considering that a significant number of pharmaceuticals are made in China, I suggest you store them in a dark, cool, dry, EMP resistant place.
But WTH, they'll probably disintegrate anyway like an IMF mission task message.
Have you ever taken a whiff of ibuprofen that has endured the heat of a car glove box in summer? The chemical smell is overwhelming.I did a test on my some of own essentials, using a compartmented snap tight pill box stored in a dark glove box in a vehicle. The fail rate for some capsules for spectacular expansive decomposition over 6 months was 100%. The fail rate for compressed tablets was not optically measurable, yet effective strength/viability remains unknown.
Pretty harsh environment with excessive daily temp swings, I'd think anyways.I did a test on my some of own essentials, using a compartmented snap tight pill box stored in a dark glove box in a vehicle.

I think I have either acquired a tolerance for pain meds when I crushed my foot 25+ years ago, or the meds I have did not do well being stored. They do not seem as effective as they were the first time I took them (not the same actual pills, but similar opioids I got for other issues). Just the same, I only use them if I absolutely have to and have them in the same place - a cabinet in the house.I've stored my pain meds collection inside a safe with a goldenrod for over 20 years--the few pills I ever use seem to be just as effective as when I put them in there originally
