Abstract: Proper drug storage plays a crucial role in maintaining drug quality, safety, and efficacy. Improper storage, such as exposure to inappropriate temperatures, excessive humidity, or unsafe storage, can degrade drug quality and increase the risk of adverse effects. This activity aims to increase public knowledge and understanding of drug storage procedures according to their type and dosage form. Implementation methods include outreach and education through counseling, demonstrations, and direct assistance. The activity results indicate an increased public understanding of the importance of reading storage instructions on packaging, storing drugs in their original packaging, keeping them out of reach of children, and paying attention to environmental temperature and humidity. It was concluded that education on proper drug storage can increase public awareness, resulting in safer and more effective drug use.
