Last month, I shared a post informing you where to take unwanted medication. National Prescription Drug Take Back day is around the corner on April 22nd. If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re disposing of unwanted/expired medications correctly, please keep reading this blog post.
As you may know, I have two little ones and a puppy at home, and I always make it a priority to double-check my medicine cabinet every 6 months to see what medications are expired and no longer needed. It’s important we check because you’d be surprised to find how much-unwanted medicine you may be stored unintentionally. There is a great program called, Safe Medication Disposal Program which is working to help educate Americans on the dangers of leaving prescription drugs unattended in the home. From diminishing the risk of drug abuse to helping protect the environment, disposing of your medications properly makes your community a healthier, safe place. We all want a healthier and safer community for our children, and disposing of these medications properly will help alleviate the dangers associated with not disposing of them the right way. Some people may think that flushing unwanted medications down the toilet, pouring them in the drain, or throwing them in the garbage is the correct way of disposing of unwanted medications, but it’s not. This can cause damage to our environment, and there are now options that make it easier for us to dispose of these unwanted/expired medications.
To properly dispose of expired or unwanted medications you just have to visit this website: <a hef=http://bit.ly/3JvlbqP and enter your zip code and it will provide a list of safe drug take-back kiosks in your area. Now is the perfect time to dispose and bring awareness to this issue because it’s National Prescription Drug Take Back Day on April 22nd! I thank you for helping keep our communities safe.
