🥄🚫 NEIGHBORHOOD PHARMACY HEALTH FACT

A kitchen spoon is for eating not measuring medicine!

Household spoons come in different sizes, so using one for liquid medicine may give too much or too little. Use the marked oral syringe, dosing cup or dropper that comes with the product and never swap measuring devices between different medicines.

Parents and caregivers: which tool do you normally use?

💉 Oral syringe
🥤 Dosing cup
🥄 Kitchen spoon
I’m changing that today!

Always read the label carefully and ask your pharmacist or healthcare provider when you are uncertain about a dose.

🚿💊 NEIGHBORHOOD PHARMACY HEALTH FACT

The bathroom cabinet may not be the best place for your medicine!

Heat and moisture from showers can damage certain tablets and capsules or cause them to lose strength sooner. Unless the label gives different instructions, medicines are generally best kept in their original containers in a secure, cool and dry location away from children.

Where are your medicines stored?

A. Bathroom cabinet 🚿
B. Cool, dry cabinet 🔒
C. I need to check! 👀

Storage requirements vary. Read each label and ask your pharmacist about refrigerated or specially stored medicines.

💊⚠️ NEIGHBORHOOD PHARMACY HEALTH FACT

Before you split or crush that tablet ask your pharmacist!

Many sustained-, controlled- or timed-release medicines are designed to release medication gradually. Breaking them may change how the medicine works. Even if a tablet has a line down the middle, check before splitting it. 

Have you ever asked your pharmacist whether a pill was safe to split? 👇🏾

Always follow the medication label and consult your pharmacist or healthcare provider before changing how you take a medicine.
