The rules for storing drugs properly are important to follow to maximize the effect of a medication.

  • Store drugs in their original container.
  • Store drugs in a cool, dry place -- not the bathroom or the refrigerator (unless instructed to keep a medication refrigerated)
  • Keep tubes of ointment or creams away from your toothpaste.
  • Never leave your medications in your car or glove box of your car.
  • Keep your family's medications separate from those of household chemicals.
  • Keep drugs out of reach of children and pets.
