As a provider of healthcare services, we want to share our expertise on how to properly store medications. Medications, in any form, need to be kept in the right place to prevent them from getting damaged, causing poisoning accidents, and expiring early. Here are some tips to keep in mind:
- Do not place your medications in warm places such as inside the bathroom, above the cooking stove, and near hot appliances. They are best stored in cool and dry places such as inside a cabinet, dresser, or closet.
- When living with children or pets, do not leave your medications unattended, especially in places they can easily see or reach. If possible, put locks or latches on your dresser or closet to avoid them from finding your medications as this can lead to poisoning accidents.
- Do not transfer your medications in different bottles or containers without the approval of your pharmacist or doctor. There may be specific instructions on how to store certain medications so make sure to ask your pharmacist and follow accordingly.
