I have a feeling a lot of people don't even read the labels or storage instructions, but if you go and have a look at the small print on your meds, I bet yours say the same.

So with this ongoing heatwave, I wonder how much ' spoilt' medicines people are consuming, and whether it is dangerous?

I think I will ask my pharmacy about this on Monday.
Mups, I know that the man in your Pharmacy was very kind to you, about your nasty insect bites, but I am wondering if you fancy him, and are now looking for excuses to go and see him!

Re: Storage of Medicines

I've got so many drugs - repeats of medicines I already have, I'm sure some of them are quite old.

I've not been taking nearly as much Valium as I once did and thus have a surplus of those - I'm going to keep them, though, in case I go through a period when my panic attacks come back. My body has just gone through too many other things to be busy panicking over things.

Still, I'm going to go through all my medications soon and get rid of those I don't need.
