How to Store Medicines Safely at Home

Store most medicines in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Kitchens and bathrooms often become humid, so a dedicated cabinet is usually better.

Keep all medicines out of children's reach, preserve labels, and avoid mixing tablets in unmarked containers.

Check expiry dates regularly and ask a pharmacist before using medicines that changed color, smell, or texture.
