    1- do not store medicines in. Bathroom medicine cabinet, the heat and humidity will ruin them 2- BBB sells a tired shelf for spices that is great for organizing meds. 3- tubes and such can be stored in bins or pencil baskets, you can get these at the dollar store. Hope this helps

    I would also suggest grouping them by similar ailment: cold medicine together, headache medicine together, etc. Medicines that you have to take every day I would have in closer reach and grouped by what you take in the morning vs evening. I'm happy to answer other questions if you have them! Carrie

    I would add that you should never take prescription meds out of original prescription bottle and put in one of those daily meds counters. You need to know what you're taking at all times, and this could be confusing.

    I agree with Linda. Those daily things sound like a good idea, but they actually aren't. I just mark the tops of my prescription med containers ... M for those I take in the morning; E for evening; and P for pain meds. Each has their own area of a drawer. I have a small little bin for any misc. over the counter medicenes. It works fine for me. My husband does the same in his drawer.
