- Use child-resistant packaging
- Keep medicines and household chemicals locked up out of reach and out of sight from young children.
- Keep the poison control center number next to your telephone and call immediately if a poisoning occurs.
- Throw away old medications.
- Use drawer and door guards where household chemicals are stored.
- Never refer to medicine as "candy" or another appealing name.
- Turn on a light when you prepare medicines for children so that you know you have the correct amount of the right medicine.
- Never leave children alone with household products or drugs. If you are using chemical products or taking medicine and you have to do something else, such as answer the phone, take any young children with you.
