Title: Storing medications question
Post by: Hiveyleague on March 29, 2011, 10:01:02 am: What is the best way to store medications?I've read where it said you can keep some in the freezer to extend shelf life,but does this pertain to all meds or just certain ones,or is it really not necessary to do anything but store them in thew packages they come in?

Thanks for advise VolunteerK9 and hopefully I won't need them either,but I've always been a safe than sorry(mostly sorry...chuckle) type person who doesn't have a lot of luck with most things is the only reason I wanted to keep some on hand.When you feel your first and last name is "Murphy" this is how you have to deal with with life sometimes.
