The Indian monsoon means high humidity — a silent enemy of your medicines.
### Golden rules
- Store tablets in their original strip. Do not decant into pill boxes long term
- Keep away from direct sunlight and the bathroom
- Refrigerate only if the label says so (insulin, some antibiotics)
- Check the expiry every 3 months and dispose of expired medicines safely
### Warning signs medicines have gone bad
- Tablets stick together, change colour, or smell odd
- Syrup separates or crystallises
- Cream/ointment changes texture
When in doubt, our pharmacists at Dinesh Pharma will help you check.
