When storing medicine in a busy area of your home, like the kitchen, care should be taken to keep all medicines up and away from children. Children are especially at risk of accidental poisoning and may take a medicine because it looks like candy. If you have questions about how to safely store your medicines, contact your pharmacist or health care provider.

Doctors consider many factors, such as allergies and drug interactions, before prescribing medication for a patient. Taking unprescribed medication can have unexpected side effects or cause serious reactions

If you have a symptom like pain and take another person's prescription pain medication instead of seeing a doctor, your medical problem could get worse.
