IMPROVING YOUR MEDICINE CABINET
Having a well-stocked and organized medicine cabinet can be your greatest asset
when someone in your family gets sick. Medical professionals recommend performing
annual medicine-cabinet check-ups to keep your family prepared. Remember to check
the expiration dates on all your products and discard all expired medications.
The most difficult items to effectively stock, are Cold & Flu medications. This
is due to the over-abundance of products containing multiple ingredients, mixed
in various combinations. If you choose to purchase a multiple-symptom product, remember
that it only provides correct coverage as long as your symptoms remain the same.
Symptoms do in fact change during the course of a cold or flu episode, thus you
will need to return to the store to purchase a different multi-symptom product.
Medicine cabinets’ are commonly filled with partially-used boxes of different multi-symptom
products. This is not an economical use of your health-care dollars and can also
increase the chance for medication mix-ups.
To prepare your family for the cold or flu, the FDA recommends stocking: a pain
reliever, an antihistamine, cough medicine and decongestants. SymptomPak™
contains each of these necessary medications in an easy to store and easy to use
kit. SymptomPak™ gives you more value for your dollar while providing the
most effective relief for all your symptoms. SymptomPak™ is a safer alternative

you will need.
