Home pharmacy
It is good to have a small home pharmacy if you need to take care of a wound or other ailments. Keep in mind that medicines do not last forever. Therefore, do not buy unnecessarily large quantities, and keep track of the best-before date. Remember that medicine must always be stored out-of-reach of children.
