Step 1: Blot Stain Immediately

As soon as you notice the stain, use a clean, dry cloth to blot away as much of medicine as possible. Avoid rubbing the cloth on the fabric, as this will only work the medicine deeper into the fibers. Blotting is more effective when done quickly, so be sure to tackle the stain straight away.

Step 2: Pretreat with a Stain Remover

Next, pretreat stain with a stain remover. Be sure to follow the instructions closely, especially when handling any potentially hazardous materials. Do not subject the garment to high temperatures or dry-cleaning, as this could cause irreversible damage.

Step 3: Rinse and Wash

Once you've treated the stain, rinse the area with cool water until the cleaner has been fully removed. Then, launder garment according to fabric care instructions. If the stain persists after one wash, then repeat steps 2 and 3.

Step 4: Allow to Air Dry

Finally, if you're satisfied with the results, allow the garment to air dry before wear. Never use an iron or dryer on the garment, as this could cause the stain to set permanently.

Voila!

With these simple steps, you should be able to safely and effectively remove medicine stains from your jacket. Just remember to act fast when treating spills, and to never expose the garment to high temperatures.
