Overview
Medicines are meant to improve your health and well-being. Unfortunately, if they are not handled properly, they can harm you and your family. If proper measures are not taken, somebody could risk their health by ingesting a dangerous dose of medicine, becoming exposed to harmful chemicals through the air, or even spreading infectious diseases. It is of utmost importance to always use the proper equipment and methods when handling or transferring medicines.
Medicines are used everywhere, from home to hospitals, to schools, and community centres. As the world's population grows older, more people are relying on medicines instead of medical treatment.
