Approximately 60,000 young children are brought to the emergency room each year because they got into medicines that were left within reach. Are all of the medicines in your home stored safely?
Any medicine or vitamin can be dangerous if taken in the wrong way or by the wrong person, even over-the-counter medications. Walk around your home and find the best place to store medicines up and away and out of sight of young children. Save the Poison Help number (800-222-1222) in all of your phones, including cell phones, so you have it when you need it.
