Let's face it, who doesn't have some expired aspirin or leftover antibiotics, or a few other odds and ends in their medicine cabinet? If you do, know that the risk for accidental poisonings can be increased by storing unneeded medicines in our homes.

Regional Alerts & News

UP & AWAY & OUT of sight!

Every year, more than 60,000 young children end up in emergency rooms because they got into medicines while their parent or caregiver was not looking. Up and Away and Out of sight is an educational program created to remind families of the importance of safe medicine storage.

The Oregon Poison Center Web site is NOT a substitute for talking with a trained Poison Specialist. In the case of an emergency, you should always contact your regional poison control center (1 800 222-1222) or 911 emergency services for help.
