Question: how should medications be stored

Michael Kimwele answered on 21 Jul 2025:

Medications should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture to maintain their effectiveness and safety. Most should be kept at room temperature, typically between 15°C and 25°C, unless the label specifies refrigeration. Medicines should also be kept in their original containers with labels intact, out of reach of children and pets, and away from bathrooms or kitchens where humidity levels are high. Proper storage prevents degradation, contamination, or accidental ingestion, ensuring that the medication works as intended when needed.
