Children are natural explorers. Studies show that in 2 out of 3 medication exposures, the medicine was left in a place a child could reach it. The best way to prevent poisoning is to put away each medication every time you use it. #StoreMedsSafe

Poison control centers receive thousands of calls a year about medicine exposures to children. To make sure you are ready in an emergency, add the toll-free, nationwide number for poison control into your phone: 1-800-222-1222. #StoreMedsSafe
Q6: What should parents do if they suspect their child has swallowed medicine, supplements, or vitamins they weren’t supposed to? What should people know about poison centers and the Poison Help Line? #StoreMedsSafe

A7. Frame the conversation like a routine safety check. Use supportive language and know what resources are available (like handouts, lock box giveaways, etc.). Asking your institution to include info on how to #StoreMedsSafe in After Visit Summaries can also help.
Q7: How can healthcare providers start conversations with families about safe medicine storage without making them feel judged? #StoreMedsSafe
