MEDICATION SAFETY
Store Look-Alike Drugs in Egg Trays

Looking for a simple and safe way to store medication? Keep drug vials in ice cube or egg trays or sandwich bags to let staff easily see product names, and help differentiate between similar-sounding or look-alike medications. You can also place auxiliary stickers or pictograms on labels that give your staff important information at the moment they need it.
