What is the content of our BOXES MEDICINE?

The drug is very important for each owned by the family. Often disability and even life safety tertolong by this tiny box. Of course, not the field that will help, but what is in the box with the appropriate actions quickly that we do.

Where we store the drugs? Criteria storage locations are as follows:

- Easily affordable for adults, but difficult for the children. So the position is rather high.

- Easily obtainable, for example, stored in the kitchen or family room. Into the kitchen where storage is ideal because of small accidents often occur in this place, like a knife cut and burn. What if the drugs are stored in the bathroom? If we see in the movies overseas, most of them keep the drugs in the bathroom. This is because of their bathroom shower is dry, and there is no water storage tanks. While we use tanks, so the bathroom became moist. High humidity is not good for the storage of drugs because it can facilitate the growth of mold.

- Stored in a dry place,

- Be spared from the direct sunlight, because UV rays from the sun can alter the chemicals in drugs.
