THE MEDICINE CABINET
"I have a bathroom cabinet full of medications.
Some old, some new. How can I tell if they are still
good?"
To begin with, the bathroom is just about the worst
place in the home to store your medication. The
kitchen is no better. Heat and humidity damage drugs.
Almost everyone stores their headache tablets,
painkillers, cough syrup, vitamins, creams, lotions and
a lot of other things in the bathroom cabinet — some
people use their kitchen cabinets. Have you ever tried
to look in your bathroom mirror after you've had a
shower, or out of your kitchen window when you are
boiling potatoes? All that heat and moisture also gets
into your medications. It will cause them to
deteriorate. Safety closures are no help. They are not
air tight and do not keep out heat and moisture.
Follow these general storage guidelines for your
medications. They should be stored in a cool, dry
place:
• Look for an expiry date on the medication. If it's
passed that date, throw it out
• Any medication that changes colour, has a moldy
appearance, has become liquid, is starting to
disintegrate, or has an unusual odour should be
discarded immediately
• Never save prescription medications for future use!
Your condition may have changed. Always consult
your pharmacist!
• Don't store medications in the refrigerator unless
your pharmacist tells you to do so
Don't throw old medications into the garbage. Take
them to your pharmacist who will dispose of them
appropriately. They will not be resold or used by
anyone else.
All medications should be stored in a locked cabinet
or box. Your bedroom is probably a good place to
keep them if it will keep your medications cool, dry,
and out of the reach of children. No children in your
home? Don't forget about visitors.
Be sure to ask your pharmacist if there are any
special storing instructions for the medication you
purchase, both prescription and nonprescription.
Remember not to store them in your bathroom or
kitchen. Medications can only help you if they are
kept fresh. Store them wisely.
