No, your probiotics are perfectly fine.
They are manufactured using advanced freeze-drying technology, which places the bacteria into a dormant powder state. Because of this, they are incredibly stable: they can last indefinitely in a freezer, up to 100 years at 4°C, 10 years at room temperature (25°C), and 2 to 3 years even in hot environments exceeding 100°F (38°C).
A single week at room temperature will not ruin them, but it is still highly recommended to store them in the refrigerator long-term to ensure maximum shelf life.
