Safety Checklist for Your medicine cabinet

Always remember
• Take old medications to your pharmacy or a hazardous waste disposal centre. Do not put them in the garbage or down the drain or toilet.
• Only use medication that has been prescribed for you. Sharing medication can be dangerous and sometimes fatal.
• If you forget to take your medication, ask your pharmacist to put them in blister packs.
• Talk to your health care provider or pharmacist. They are there to answer your questions.
