Proper medication storage is essential to maintaining the effectiveness of your prescriptions and ensuring safety for everyone in your household. Medications that are stored incorrectly may lose potency or become harmful.

“ Storing your medications properly is a simple step you can take to ensure they stay safe and effective for their entire use ”

Here are some key tips for proper medication storage:

1. Keep Medications in a Cool, Dry Place:
   Store your medications in a location away from moisture, heat, and direct sunlight. A cool, dry cabinet is ideal.
2. Use Childproof Containers:
   Ensure all medications are stored in their original, child-resistant containers to prevent accidental ingestion by children or pets.
3. Avoid the Bathroom or Kitchen:
   These areas tend to have high humidity and fluctuating temperatures, which can degrade the medication’s quality over time.
4. Check Expiration Dates:
   Regularly check your medication labels for expiration dates, and dispose of any that have expired in a safe manner.
