Monitor Your Medicine Cabinet

Choose a safe location to store your medications that is up & away and out of sight from others in the household. Sometimes the medicine cabinet is not the best location to store prescriptions because of its ease of accessibility. If you choose to store your medications in the medicine cabinet, look to install a locking mechanism or find a lock equipped medicine cabinet to replace your old one.

*Other options to safely store your medications include prescription lock boxes and password/code protected household safes.
