Medication Storage

Can you store your medication in kitchen cabinets. I have been storing them in kitchen cabinet next to dishwasher there is a counter top above dishwasher. Does the heat from dishwasher get cabinets hot where they would interact with my meds or am I just getting paranoid

Hi Brad3... Maybe move yours to another cabinet in the kitchen. I keep mine in a box in one of my kitchen cabinets. Take care
