How you store medicine at home directly affects how well and how safely it works. Many medicines are sensitive to heat, humidity and light, so it is important to know the right place for each one.
Choose a cool, dry place
Keep most medicines at room temperature, away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing them in the bathroom or kitchen, where heat and humidity are high.
Follow the label
Some medicines need to be kept in the fridge. Always read the leaflet, and ask your pharmacist if you are not sure.
Quick tips
- Keep medicine in its original package.
- Store medicines out of children’s reach.
- Do not mix different tablets in one box.
