It is a fat soluble vitamin so ,it won't damage but plastic containers may create some toxic so better shift it in glass bottle. You can consume it.

Hello
Ideally it's recommended to keep in dark place at room temperature or as directed in the package.
Please reach out to the concerned doctor who has prescribed the medications.
