| Some advice on keeping medicines in the home |
| (405) Wednesday, March 7, 2018 |
Medicines: - Keep all medicines in containers with child-resistant caps/lids - remember that "child-resistant" does not mean "child-proof". Child-resistant lids are designed to slow children down when they try to open a container, giving you the chance to notice what is happening and take action.
- Keep medicines and chemicals locked out of reach and sight of children.
- Remember, this includes items herbal, iron and vitamin tablets or substances - iron is very dangerous, especially to children, if taken in a high dose.
- Read directions for use carefully before taking or giving medicine, vitamins etc. Talk with your GP or pharmacist if you have any questions.
- Children like to copy adults - try to take your medicine when your young child is not watching you.
- When visiting another home, take a few minutes to check for medicines or cleaning products lying around places your child is likely to explore - like grandparents' bedside lockers
- Return any old or unused medication to your pharmacist.
- Don’t refer to medicines or vitamins as sweets.
