🚨 PSA: Expired Medications — What You Should Know 🚨

We’ve all been there… you open the medicine cabinet and find a bottle that expired last year (or longer 😬). So what actually happens if someone takes expired medication?

Here’s the truth:

✔️ Most expired medications are not toxic, but they may not work as well because the active ingredient slowly breaks down over time.

⚠️ The biggest risk is reduced effectiveness, which can be dangerous for certain medications.

🚫 Do NOT use expired:
• Insulin
• Antibiotics
• Injectable medications
• Eye or ear drops
• Seizure, heart, or thyroid medications

These medications can lose potency or sterility, increasing the risk of complications or infection.

🧪 Liquids and injectables are more likely to be unsafe than tablets or capsules.

💊 Some OTC meds (like acetaminophen) may still be safe shortly after expiration—but replacement is always the safest option.

🗑️ Take a few minutes this week to clean out your medicine cabinet.
Proper disposal protects your health and your household.

📍 Most pharmacies offer safe medication disposal, or you can check for local drug take-back events.

When in doubt—don’t guess. Go ahead and toss them.

It's been a while since we've had a ! This week's highlight is Connie Porter of Porter Care Clinic!

Connie is an innovator, a hard worker, and brings a lot of education to our Connect Coworx space. Her focus is wellness and keeping Marion healthy through a membership-based practice. Many groups of people can benefit from her care.

"I usually tell people there are three or four categories," she shared. "One is people who don't have insurance that need primary care services, two is people who have insurance but have a large deductible, and they never meet it, three is people who have insurance but have to wait a long time to see their providers, and four is small business owners who want to provide health benefits for their employees."

Connie is so excited to implement even more programs in the new year. Her ambition is contagious and reinvigorates the coworking space.
