1. c) In a cupboard. Places that are too humid, too warm, or too cold should be avoided, as they can accelerate the expiry dates of some medications. However, always check labels for storage instructions; some medications need to be stored in the fridge. 2. f) All of these answers. What’s more, some medications should be disposed of as soon as possible after their first use, such as some kinds of single-use eye drops. Look for this kind of information on the product’s label or ask a pharma- cist to be extra sure. 3. e) None of these answers. Expired or unused medications should always be returned to a pharmacist, who will ensure that they are discarded safely. They should never be thrown out at home, as the chemical products contained in some medications could lead to soil or water contamination.
