Medicine safety

  • Medicines depend on the people in your household — do not build a generic medicine stockpile.
  • Check expiry dates every few months and replace what has expired.
  • Keep medicines in their original labelled packaging.
  • Never take medicine prescribed for someone else.
  • Store all medicines locked away and out of children's reach.
  • Know the allergies of everyone in your home and write them down.
  • Keep an up-to-date list of current prescriptions for each person.
  • Avoid duplicate ingredients — many combination products contain paracetamol.
  • Paracetamol should only be used following the label instructions for age and weight, and not by anyone advised against it.
  • Do not keep antibiotics, steroids, sedatives, sleeping tablets or injections as 'home emergency medicines'.
  • Do not use emergency guides as a substitute for professional diagnosis.
