Call NHS direct and they will be able to check if they will be ok.

second phoning NHS direct

Just tried them - it said they are exceptionally busy at present, only available for urgent problems

I was about to suggest calling a pharmacy - a large Boots will prob have one open on Sunday - or a supermarket with instore pharmacy should have someone on hand.

I'm totally confused now.
I just googled the medicine and under storage instructions it said on one site that you can keep it either at room temp or in the fridge,
on two other sites it said must store in fridge.

I really doubt that refrigerating it will do it any harm. Freezing it might, but refrigerating it wouldn't. I suspect it says "don't refrigerate" because this particular version doesn't need to be kept cold.

Should be fine. Best to cal a pharmacy for reassurance - just check which one is open on a Sunday in your area. Local press usually tells you or large supermarket may have one.

I don't know what's happened to my brain -
I finally realized yesterday that my uncle in Germany actually is a pharmacist - so I gave him a call and he said it was okay.
