How to Store Medicines Properly At Home

The best way to store all the medicines is to keep them in a drawer. Keep them in an enclosure, where there is not much moisture. Most medicines have an instruction to keep in a cool dry place. So if you have a kitchen cabinet you can store in there. But ensure it is away from the stove, sink, and any hot appliances. Keep your medicines in a place that is away from the reach of children or your pets, so basically at a little height. That, however, does not eliminate the fear of insects like lizards, ants or cockroaches.

So it is always better to get a small and compact medicine box, which even has compartments as per the days. It is ideal to store all the medicines safely.
