Give up the dangerous habit of storing medicine in the bathroom. British pharmacists suggest moving them to the bedroom so that the drugs do not spoil.

A study by the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain has shown that millions of residents of Foggy Albion do not store their medicines correctly, writes the Daily Mail. They often place them in special lockers located in the bathroom. But the bathroom is, as a rule, a place with very high humidity and high air temperature. Both of these factors have a negative effect on medicines, they can spoil them or significantly reduce their effectiveness.

It is better if your home medicine cabinet is located in a dry and cool place. And since this is what the bedroom should be by definition, since the temperature in it should be kept one or two degrees lower than in other rooms, that is where it is best to keep a supply of medicines.

About 2,200 British adults took part in the survey. . About 20% keep their medicine in the bathroom. 45% keep them in the kitchen, which is also not the best place. There are heat sources in the kitchen, such as an oven or stove, and these can spoil your pills.
