I don't store any medications in the bathroom, but I guess some people do. What I have learned recently is that storing them in the bathroom can actually reduce a drug's effectiveness over time. Moisture and steam can cause pills to break down faster and labels to peel off. A cool, dry place like a bedroom drawer or hallway closet is safter and helps to preserve potency.

Most meds need to be stored in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. That is our practice. This post serves as a really good reminder.
