@gphetteplace, I appreciate that you shared highlights from the medication safety seminar you attended. Such as important reminder. While we may not be able to get together with family, children and grandchildren for the holiday this year, we will again, hopefully soon. I augmented the title of your discussion to "Medication safety: Tips for keeping pills out of harm's way" in the hopes of getting tips from fellow members.

You're right. It does happen so fast. As a child, I drank turpentine because neighbors had put leftover turpentine in a Coke bottle. I had to have my stomach pumped. Luckily no negative health impacts although I was indignant that I woke up in a crib in the hospital. I was already sleeping in a big girl bed and finding myself in a crib is imprinted on my memory. Funny how memory works.

So back on topic. I agree that pill organizers are very convenient and are helpful to remind us when we have taken our pills, etc. What do people do to keep these organizers safely stowed away from children, pets, etc.?
