Medicines

In your family, where do you put all the medicines?!
My husband said all the medicines should put in the bathroom cabinet which I don't agree, but how about you?!

Some medicines have directions to store in a dry place, which the bathroom is not.  But I think most can be put in a medicine cabinet in the bathroom.  Just be careful if you have young children.  In that case, put them where the children cannot reach.

I keep my medicine in my bedroom in a dresser drawer.  I do not like to keep medicine in the bathroom, so anyone can see what medicines I have.  It is really no ones business.

Storing my medicine next to my makeupcase helps me to remember to take them in am before going to work.

I store my medications in the hall closet.   The humidity can get to high in the bathroom

Supplements I keep in the kitchen where I'll remember to take them in the morning.  Medicine I keep in the medicine cabinet in the bathroom.  I keep one Bach flower (white chestnut) in my nightstand drawer, since it quiets the mind, so I can take a drop if my thoughts keep racing and won't let me sleep.  I don't have kids and don't do pharmaceuticals so this works for me.

Kitchen cabinet is best. Guest come over and use the bathroom. They are behind a closed locked door and can go through all your stuff!

I have a shelf next to my bed where I keep my meds as well as a daily pill box to remind me

I store them n my dresser drawer.
I leave one bottle in my nightstand, so I can refill easily for my nighttime dose.
I refill my 7 day pill container near my desk, so I keep some there too.

Bad idea to store medicines in the bathroom with all the dampness and germs in the bathroom.  Most medicine are suppose to be kept in a dry environment.

It depends on who is taking them.My husband puts his on the fireplace.I put mine at my computer desk.Any extras go in the kitchen cabinet.

Your hubby is wrong - and I'll take the heat for it when you tell him! Medications, vitamins, and/or any other 'things' you put in your body should never be in a bathroom because of the humidity, as already mentioned. The ONLY exclusions are medications which have to be refrigerated ie insulin, pediatric antibiotics, etc. and they will be labeled by the pharmacy to store that way. You might be surprised, and alarmed, to learn the molecular changes caused by humidity in certain meds. They can be altered enough to cause huge problems with some. There is also a reason pill bottles and liquids come in/are dispensed in those amber colored containers vs a clear one. Light can also change them.

Get them out of the bathroom and into a safe place that is both dark and dry!

How about in a medicine cabinet in a bathroom that is never used?     We never use the half-bathroom connected to our bedroom, and the medicine's in the cabinet in there.
