Medications should be stored properly to ensure they remain active, and no one was poisoned by them.
to store
- Do not forget that the high temperature, air, light and moisture can ruin the medication.
- Keep medicaments in dry and cool places. This means that you need to put them in a cupboard away from the cooker, sink and heater.
- Do not store medication in the bathroom.
- Tablets and capsules are very easily damaged from heat and moisture. Because aspirin, for example, may turn out vinegar and salicylic acid. They irritate the stomach.
- Always keep medicines in their original packaging.
- Pull out the bottle of medicine cotton ball. If it is left, then through it inside the bottle will attract moisture. Wool was only needed for transportation.
Children
- Keep medicines out of reach of children.
- Close the cabinet of medicines on the lock or latch.
Do not use damaged tablets or capsules
- Dispose of medicines that have changed color, odor, or whose shelf life has expired.
- Dispose of tablets that stick together, become softer or firmer than they were, or if they are damaged.
