Medicine cabinet stuffed with old prescriptions, expired painkillers, that antibiotic cream from 2018, and no idea where the **plasters actually are** when you need them.

Good to Know
> 🎨 **Regular sorting?** Most people should check their medicine cabinet every 6-12 months. Set a reminder when clocks change - good memory jogger. **Prescription medicines?** Even if they haven't expired, don't take old prescriptions without doctor advice. Conditions change, doses change, drug interactions matter. Take them to pharmacy for disposal. **First aid supplies?** While I'm sorting, I'll note what you're low on - plasters, bandages, antiseptic cream. Better to stock up now than discover you've none when you need them.
Frequently Asked Questions about Medicine cabinet organise in Sidmouth
Why would I need help organising a medicine cabinet?
Lots of reasons - elderly relatives who've accumulated years of meds, house clearance after bereavement, just never got round to it yourself. It's about checking expiry dates (most people don't), safely disposing of old meds, and organising what's left so you can find things in an emergency.
How do you dispose of expired medicines?
I take them to a pharmacy - they have safe disposal systems. DON'T flush medicines down the toilet or bin them (gets into water supply). Pharmacies take old meds from anyone, no questions asked, and dispose of them properly.
Will you check all the expiry dates?
Yes - that's part of the service. I'll check every packet, bottle, and tube. You'd be surprised how much expired stuff people have - painkillers from 2015, antibiotics from someone else's prescription, opened eye drops from years ago.
What about medicines that don't have clear dates?
If it's been opened and you can't remember when, bin it. Liquid medicines go off quickest (usually 3-6 months after opening). Creams and ointments about a year. Pills last longer but still have expiry dates. When in doubt, chuck it out - not worth the risk.
Do I need to be there while you do it?
Helpful for deciding what to keep (prescription meds you still need, supplements you take regularly). But the checking and organising I can do alone if you trust me. Your call.
