I advised to keep a separate section for emergency medications and label it. We have a tackle box at home that contains anti-asthma, anti-hypertensive drugs, anti-allergy and Ipecac for vomiting. That way, in cases of emergency when everyone is under stress, everyone can just ask anyone to bring the tackle box instead of having him/her look for it in the cabinet one by one. We keep a logbook for all the expiration dates of medications we have at home. We check it periodically to update it.

My brother read this article and asked, “why do Medicine Cabinets need to be organized?” A stupid question perhaps but nevertheless, should still be Answered. Medicine Cabinets play an important role in our daily lives, medicinal products, toothbrushes and other products are in there. So it is important to keep it clean and organized, it is also important to take into note the expiration dates of medicines because once expired they can cause adverse effects to the human body and may do more harm than good.

Medicine cabinet is being used everyday. We look at it but we did not see that it is really full of unuseful items like expired medicines, dental floss and those skin treatment regimen that we quit almost months ago. This a total disaster to think that a medicine cabinet need its own first aid. I have here a to do list to save the medicine cabinet. First, throw any items that are out of date examples of that are toothbrushes ( 3 month old), unused sunscreens and gunky nail polish. Second, disinfect the mirror, shelves and interior thoroughly. Third, categorized those useful items like vitamins, medicines and etc. Fourth, use small baskets or trays to pile up items and put your most frequently used items at the bottom. And lastly, put the remaining items in a see-through containers.
