Students' Room
Medicines in My Home
Whether you learned about Medicines in My Home from a teacher at school or some other way, we are really glad you found us!
The Students' Room is for you if you are a middle school student (Grades 6 through 8) who wants to learn how to choose over-the-counter (OTC) medicines and use them safely. If you are an older student, you are also welcome in this room. Materials for adults are in the Consumers' Room.
You aren't too young to help yourself be and stay healthy. To do that you need to ask questions and play an active part in decisions about your health! But until you are an adult, you need to ask for help and permission from an adult when you think you need a medicine.
