I always clean out my medicine cabinet (which is actually a drawer) the first of the year.
If you don't have a place where you keep all your medicines, now is the time to invest in a plastic storage container and sequester all your health care items in one convenient place. You can keep this in your linen closet or under the sink for easy access.
Remove the entire contents from your medicine stash.
Wipe down the interior with a damp cloth to remove dust, grit and stray hairs.
Carefully review each package and discard any the are past their expiration date, you can no longer identify because the original packaging is gone, any prescriptions that were not fully consumed at the time of issue or you no longer have children requiring the infant Tylenol drops!
Place medicines of like kind (cold and flu treatments or pain killers for example) together in a small divided box or on the same shelf.
Assure you have plenty of adhesive bandaids, neosporine, benedryl, acetaminophen or ibuprofen on hand and then replace any items that you discarded and MIGHT need in the near future.
