We would like to draw your attention to safe storage, usage and disposal of your
medicines, in particular those with high risk.
High-risk medications are drugs that have a heightened risk of causing significant
patient harm when they are used in error, e.g. :
ADHD medication, all CDs (controlled drugs, including Morphine, Diazepam,
Pregabalin and Gabapentin), Aspirin, anti-cancer meds, oral anticoagulants, insulin,
lithium, Methotrexate, NSAIDs, opiates, Paracetamol, parafin based products,
steroids, valproate.
High-risk medications should be stored in individual containers with only one type of
medication per storage container for safety. The unused high risk meds should be
returned and disposed of safely at any pharmacy.
Most medication should be stored in a locked cupboard or locked container which is
out of reach of children in an area that is below 25C. A few medicines, such as
asthma inhalers, may need to be readily available and in this circumstance must not
be locked away.
Please remember to have regular checks whilst on high risk medication.
