Disinfecting medicines

Question

Asked for Male, 42 Years

Hi, I'd like to know how best we can disinfect medicines that we order and get delivered to our home. If we wash them with soap, the batch number and expiration date gets wiped off, which can cause confusion for later use. Please advise the best means to disinfect medicines.

Batch number and expiration date will be wiped off in watever way you waah them. Better you can do one thing , just wash them or disinfect them with sanitizer and leave them for 24 to 48 hrs and write the batch number and expiry date over a piece of paper..later you can paste it over the strips to understand well.
