Here are some suggestions regarding what to do with unused medication:
- Don’t take outdated medications, their effectiveness can’t be assured.
- Don’t flush medications down the toilet or put them in the garbage, they could end up in the water system.
- Return what you don’t use, ideally to the pharmacy where they were dispensed, otherwise to one participating in a Take Back program. The website gives a list of nearby drugstores by postal code. Returned medications will be neutralized through incineration.
