How to Organize Complete Medicine Cabinet - Check List Included - Hansaplast India When it comes to your medicine cabinet, regular maintenance is key. Know what to look out for with our products.

Stock the right contents together for your medicine cabinet with Hansaplast.

1. Store it in the right place This may seem like a given, but you should always store your medication in a safe but easily accessible place and should always put it back there after use. Make sure that everybody in the household knows where the medicine kit or cabinet is located. If you have toddlers or small children, the opposite applies of course. Keep your medication in a cool, dry place which is locked up and out of your child’s sight and make sure that they are NOT able to reach it.

Also, keep it organised: Having to look for a package leaflet that’s flying around somewhere because you haven’t returned it to the package the last time you used that medication is unnerving.

2. Check for expiration dates and age specifications Go through your medicine cabinet at least once every six months and check the expiration date of every package.

Be safe and toss out anything that has expired, as well as antibiotics that have not been used up completely. Do not throw any of these in the garbage, but return the products to your drugstore or pharmacy. They will dispose of them safely and in an environmentally friendly way.

Also, check for age specifications and dosage recommendations on the medication intended for your children. The types of medications they can use change as they grow older, as does the dosage. Upgrade and stock up when and where necessary.

3. Check whether you have the right first aid bandages and products Be prepared when it is most important: Most accidents still happen in the household or during sports, so make sure to have the right products to help you in those moments when you have cut yourself or sprained an ankle. A well-stocked medicine cabinet means you are all set in those crucial moments. Check the Hansaplast range for especially convenient essentials and solutions, such as Hansaplast Silver Healing Plaster, the Washproof Plaster or Hansaplast Patch Plaster which protects your wounds even in awkward places.

4. Assemble a “to-go-set” Why should a “medicine cabinet” be something stationary? It makes sense to compile a selection of products that can be taken in your sports bag in case something happens during workout, hiking or other outdoor or sports activities. Hansaplast Jumbo or Hansaplast Silverhealing Plasters for instance.

5. Calling sheet This can be a crucial time-saver: Always keep important emergency phone numbers such as those for an ambulance, for your doctor and pharmacy, or for any hotlines (e.g. poison hotline) in the medicine cabinet Medicine Cabinet Checklist Make sure your medicine cabinet includes these items. Check supplies regularly every six months.
