It is essential to store medications that do not require refrigeration properly at home to ensure their effectiveness and safety. It is recommended to keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, preferably in a closed first aid kit and out of the reach of children and pets. Avoid places with temperature changes, such as the kitchen or bathroom, as moisture and heat can alter the composition of drugs. Additionally, always keep medications in their original packaging with their respective labels for easy identification.
