Suggestions on where to keep medicines in a home with an active toddler

I am organizing my house and wondering now that DD is into everything, where should I put medicines? I want them fairly accessible to us but not to her. Any ideas?

All of our medicines are in the kitchen. Hubby's are in a child proof weekly pill box, mine are in the cabinet above the sink, and DS's are on a shelf above the sink. He is only 13 months old now, but when he gets older, they will be put away in a cabinet in the kitchen with a lock on it..The kitchen is the busiest room in the house so I feel safe that he will never be alone in a room with the meds...

We have the everyday stuff on a shelf over the sink.

The remainder are in the bathroom medicine cabinet or on the 2nd highest shelf in the linen closet (which I think is safer bc they can climb onto the bathroom sink!!)

Just keep all of your meds up high and out of sight. Always use child protected bottles...

We have everything on the top shelf of a cabinet in the kitchen. I can only reach the few in the front, the rest I need a chair to climb up.
