Medication Safety Week
Medication Safety Week is a good time to slow down and double-check the medicines you use at home. Taking medicine exactly as directed, keeping an up-to-date list of prescriptions and supplements, and checking expiration dates can help prevent harmful mistakes. The CDC says adverse drug events lead to more than 1.5 million emergency department visits each year, which is why simple safety steps matter for every family.
It is also important to store medicines safely and keep them out of reach and sight of children. The CDC notes that about 100 young children are taken to the emergency room each day after getting into medicine left within reach. During Medication Safety Week, take a few minutes to review the resources below and learn more about safe use, storage, and disposal so you can protect yourself and your loved ones.
