Medicine Cabinet Management

Safety First!
 First and foremost, all medicines should be stored safely out of the reach of children in child-resistant containers.
Over time, drugs lose potency. Generally the farther out from the manufacturing date the less potent a drug is. Prescriptions come labeled with an expiration date.
Throw away:
 * All expried medicines
 * Any medicine to which you have had an adverse reaction
 * Any unidentifiable medicine
 * "Orphan" pills or tablets
 * Old mixes of multiple pills in the same bottle
 * Empty &/or expired inhalers
