I want to impart these vital information that talks about medicines.
If you're like most parents, you probably have old medications and leftover prescriptions taking up space in your medicine cabinet.
It is best and most proper to get rid of old meds you aren't using or that have expired, plus outdated products such as syrup of ipecac (which is not recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics, mercury thermometers which can break and expose your child to mercury, hydrogen peroxide which is good for laundry but soap is better for cleansing wounds, aspirin which can cause Reye's syndrome and OTC cough and cold meds for kids under 2 which is not recommend by the FDA.
You better throw any old antibiotics. It's important that your pediatrician decide which antibiotic is needed to treat your child. Giving an antibiotic when it's not needed, giving the wrong antibiotic or giving the wrong dose can cause serious problems.
That's when I was alarmed. I don't want that my children will get harm with this medicines. That is why, I dispose those medicines which will cause them aggravated.
