When it comes to medications, keeping the family healthy and safe includes keeping the medicine cabinet up to date. Here’s a quick checklist to help you stock your medicine cabinet with basic health care tools and store medicines safely.

Safe Storage

Medications are stored as instructed on the label. For example, storing medicines in a warm, moist area such as a bathroom can change the medicine’s strength and/or ability to do its job.

• All package instructions should be clear. If it is not clear or instructions are missing take the medication to pharmacist for proper disposal.
• Always Check expiry date of medicines. If a medication is expired take it to Pharmacy for proper disposal.
• Medication should be stored safely away from kids and pets reach.
