Spring is almost here. While "spring cleaning" the rest of your home, take time to check your medicine cabinet for expired remedies, prescriptions and OTC drugs. What should you toss and what should you have on hand in your medicine cabinet.

USC Health (University of Southern California) suggests taking inventory of your medicine cabinet, even conducting a "brown bag review" of your prescription medicines with your pharmacist. As my brother-in-law is a respected pharmacist in his area, I'm sure he'd appreciate spreading the word on this topic!
