Every family develops a family medicine box over the years. Old medicines lie part used in the cabinet, evidence of past malaise. Throw every medicine you can see in that cabinet right into the rubbish bin, right now. I mean it.
Old medicines are useless.
Most medicines should be kept in the fridge in tropical countries, not too cold, but in the compartments on the inside door. That will make sure they retain their properties. Mums and Dads will know what medicines should be kept out of the hands of toddler and children. Your Thai pharmacist knows a lot about medicine. Mine, a lady I ve known for years, attends monthly meetings to keep up her knowledge of new products on the market, and she s seen me through a lot of stomach bugs and minor ailments.
