Storing pills in the fridge?

Storing pills in the fridge?

Almost all of the pill bottles I see recommend storage at room
temperature. But why not the fridge? It seems plausible that colder
temperatures should slow down the chemical reactions that break down
the active ingredients.

For example, look at this study: http :// tinyurl,com /3az7pw

Near the bottom of the page, it predicts a shelf life for aspirin of
0.28 years at room temperature, and 12.7 years at 5 degrees Celsius,
which is probably a typical refrigerator temp.

I take a baby aspirin every day. With my current bottle (a 400 pill
tub-o-aspirin from Costco), I started storing it in the fridge in a
Ziploc bag. And since I've done so, I've noticed no vinegary smell
coming from the bottle as I did when I previously stored it at room
temperature. The smell would start just a few days after first
opening the bottle.

Sooo, for the medical experts that may be reading this, is there
anything wrong with storing pills in the fridge?
