"If you put medicine in three places, your life will not go well", don't put medicine in these three places at home, it is not superstition
Medicines are an indispensable thing in our lives, almost every family will have a small medicine box, and the medicine box is also placed in common medicines, such as: cold medicine, fever medicine, anti-inflammatory drugs, antiviral drugs, etc. If there is any minor problem in the body, you can also take the medicine directly, and you don't need to buy it again at the pharmacy, which not only saves time, but also saves a lot of things. Especially for the elderly, it is more necessary to take long-term medication to maintain it.
However, it is necessary to remind everyone that it is necessary to check the shelf life of the drug in time when storing the drug. If you find that the drug has expired, you also need to throw it away in time. Because expired drugs have lost their efficacy, even if they are taken again, they cannot achieve the corresponding therapeutic effect, and may also increase the safety risks. Not only that, we also need to pay attention to the place where the medicine is placed, and we must not leave the medicine at will.
The older generation often says: "If you put medicine in three places, your life will not go well." What does this sentence mean? What three places should medicine not be placed, and what kind of problems will it cause to our lives if it is placed in these places? Let's give you a brief introduction.
Bathroom.
The bathroom itself is a place to take a bath, due to the long-term infection of moisture, so the humidity in the bathroom is relatively large, if the medicine is placed in the bathroom, it will cause the moisture to enter the medicine, resulting in the problem of dampness and deterioration of the medicine. In order to avoid this situation, we should still put the medicine in the right place, and it is best to prepare a medicine box.
Kitchen.
As we all know, the kitchen is where we often cook, so the temperature and humidity in the kitchen will inevitably be higher than in other rooms. If the medicine is placed in such a place, it is easy to get wet and deteriorate. After all, many drugs are stored in a dry environment, and if they are stored in the kitchen, they will quickly lose their effectiveness, and drugs that have lost their effectiveness will naturally have little value.
Where direct sunlight shines.
When we are buying a drug, we can also know the shelf life and time of the drug through the relevant content on the drug label. Due to the large number of chemical components in drugs, they usually need to be stored at room temperature, and some special drugs have to be stored at low temperatures. Therefore, when we store drugs, we must understand the relevant specifications of drugs, and we must not let the drugs be placed directly in direct sunlight, otherwise the drugs will become ineffective.
After reading the above content, we have understood the place where the drug can not be placed, so how to store the commonly used drugs in the family? The easiest way is to store the drug in the original packaging box, if the conditions permit, it is best to prepare a special medicine box, this medicine box is usually well sealed, and the drug can also play a role in avoiding light and shading the sun.
However, in daily life, it is common to see some elderly people using portable plastic pill boxes. There are usually several small compartments in this kind of medicine box that can be used to put a variety of drugs at the same time, but the sealing of this kind of box is relatively poor, and it is not suitable for long-term storage, and it can only hold drugs for one or two days at most.
