practices of medication storage

Proper medication storage ensures safety, effectiveness, and prevents misuse. Keep medicines in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Store in their original containers with labels intact to avoid confusion. Keep medications out of reach of children and pets. Avoid storing drugs in bathrooms or near heat sources, as humidity and temperature changes can degrade them. Regularly check expiration dates and dispose of expired medicines properly. By following these practices, medications remain safe to use and maintain their effectiveness until their expiration.
