All about Medicine Safety
Medicine can help when you are ill, but it must always be used correctly. Only take medicine that a parent, doctor, pharmacist or trusted adult gives you, and always follow the dose on the packet or the label. Never take someone else's medicine.
Keep medicines out of reach and sight of young children, and store them in their original packaging. Some medicines look like sweets, so make sure you know what you are taking. If you accidentally take too much, tell an adult straight away.
