Medicines can positively impact people’s lives but can also cause harm if they fall into the wrong hands or are misused.
Drugs, both prescribed and over-the-counter, can be ineffective or even lethal when exposed to light, dampness, or severe temperatures.
You can put some of your medications in the refrigerator and store other medicines in the freezer. If you must store drugs where heat and humidity can damage them, avoid keeping them in the bathroom.
You can keep medicines out of children’s reach and away from direct sunlight and heat sources by placing them on a kitchen counter or cabinet. Nightstand drawers are another alternative to avoid forgetting that they put their medicines elsewhere.
As a retail pharmacy in Union City, New Jersey, we also look for storage recommendations on the medication’s label and in the accompanying Consumer Medicine Information (CMI) booklet.
That’s why you must know how to store your prescriptions while keeping them readily available and safe. Talking to your local or nearest pharmacy about the best way to keep medicine is also a good idea.
