You may forget what they are and the prescribed dosage. Keep all prescription medicines in original containers. These could be harmful if swallowed. If you have small children, keep office products in locked storage. Not all poisons come in bottles.
Plants can be poisonous too.
Keep house plants out of small children's reach. When making your home safe from accidental poisonings, don't forget your garage. Keep automobile products, paints and paint solvents, and pesticides under lock and key and away from children. Poison-proofing can save lives, even if you don't have small children. Store medicines separately from household products.
