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
