1. Bad medicine is a ‘red flag’.
If the tablet or capsule becomes soft, puffy, sticky in monsoon. If it bursts out, you will understand that damp or moisture has been caught in monsoon. Don’t forget to put it on your face or body if the syrup in the bottle becomes cloudy, sediments or the smell changes.

2. No place for medicine in the bathroom or kitchen
Always choose the coolest and driest corner to store medicines at home. It can be a cupboard or a drawer. Do not accidentally store the medicine in the bathroom, kitchen, near a window or where direct sunlight or moisture can reach it.

3. Gone are the days of stuffing medicine in the fridge

All medicines but not things to keep in the fridge! Don’t just refrigerate medicine unless strictly directed by your doctor or written on the package. Insulin pens are good at room temperature after opening, just keep them out of direct sunlight and heat.
