medicine cabinet
Mirrored pill storage
A medicine cabinet is a small storage cabinet, typically wall-mounted in a bathroom and often featuring a mirror on its door.
It holds medications, first-aid supplies, toiletries, and other personal care items.
The phrase raiding the medicine cabinet suggests searching through someone's prescriptions, often with implications of drug misuse.
Despite the name, most medicine cabinets contain far more cosmetics and grooming products than actual medicine.
