Useful info and health tips

Keep it cool, dark and dry

Medicines should be kept in a cool, dry place and protected from light.
Exposure to light, heat and moisture can accelerate the breakdown of medicines, which may reduce their efficacy or cause superficial changes, e.g. discoloration.
In a warm and humid country like Singapore, appropriate storage is thus particularly important.

Keep away from children

Poisoning incidents involving children are often attributable to the accidental ingestion.
These are usually preventable if medicines are stored appropriately.

Therefore, medicines should always be kept in a locked drawer/cabinet or at higher levels, beyond the reach of children.

Medicine that has changed color, consistency or odor should never be used regardless of expiry.
