There comes a time when child proof containers no longer work.
For safe medicine storage, lock up your prescriptions.
Children, family members and outside visitors can easily access your
prescription medication if they are not safely stored. A medicine lock box
prevents unauthorized access to your prescription medicines at home.
For your FREE lock box, call 410-819-5639
or email logan.harris@maryland.gov
For safe medicine disposal, dispose in drop-box after use.
Expired/Unused Medicines – Check the label and see if it has reached
the expiration date or if the medication is no longer needed.
