Storing your medicine

The label or instruction leaflet supplied with your medicine will provide instructions on how to store it properly. Some medicines should be stored in a refrigerator (eg. insulins and certain eye drops used for bacterial infections or glaucoma).

The cap should always be replaced on medicine bottles and child-proof caps should be locked on.

All medicines should be stored safely out of the reach of children.

You should always check the expiry date on medicines. If your medicine is out-of-date, return it to your pharmacist.

If you have any unused medicines, you should return them to your pharmacist who will dispose of them for you. Do not simply throw them away.
