January Week 3: Medicine Chest

This week we are focusing on our medicine chests. As we come out of Cold and Flu season and head into spring, we want to make sure our medicine chests are full of the medications we will need. Stockpiling hoards of medication can be hazardous if we aren't careful. Medications have expiration dates which should be followed. Medications can lose the effectivness or increase in potency over time. It is important that we keep our medicine chests full and stocked with newer medications.

Things to include:

Pain Killers: Ibuprofen, asprin, tylenol
Cold remedies: Nyquil, cough syrup, dayquil
Other: Imodium, pepto bismol, cough drops, Ipecac (optional), Claritin, allergy meds, other frequently items
