Clean Out Medicine Cabinets to Prevent Abuse
By Bill Weiers, Pharmacist, SMSC Pharmacy
Do you have pills leftover from your last dental procedure? Are you saving an antibiotic in case you develop another sinus infection? While keeping remaining pills may seem like a good idea, unused pills are a public safety risk. Leftover pills may lead to accidental poisonings, misuse, overdose, and theft.
Medicine often looks like candy, especially to a child. Their size, developmental stage, and mouthing behaviors put them at a special risk for poisoning from medications. Children are also adept at opening child-resistant containers, which should never be relied upon to prevent poisoning.
