Do you have "Old" Drugs in your Medicine Cabinet?

What would you find if you went through your medicine cabinet today? How old are those prescription cold capsules that you put away after you had the flu? And, how about those over-the-counter cough syrups that you've had "forever"?

It's high time to go through your medicine cabinet and dispose of old medications.

In an article by Kaitlyn Syring in the University of Kansas Daily Kansan, the following important questions are answered:  

  1. Where is the best place to store medications?
  2. Does expired medicine still work?
  3. Is expired medicine harmful?
  4. How do I dispose of expired medications?
