Promoting Medication Poison Prevention

Promoting Medication Poison Prevention.

You can provide your community with valuable information on the safe handling and storage of medications. You can also share information on what to do if a person thinks someone has been poisoned. These materials present an opportunity to talk to families, patients, parents, caregivers, colleagues, friends, and community members and to start them thinking about how they handle and store their medicines.
