Q:
|
What is the proper method of disposing of damaged, expired, or unusable medications?
|
|
A:
|
AmMed Homecare Pharmacy recommends that consumers follow guidelines for disposal of medications based first on any instructions provided on the drug label or accompanying drug information sheets. If no guidelines are provided, then remove the drugs from their original container; mix them with an undesirable substance, such as kitty litter or coffee grounds; place them in a sealable baggy, and throw them in your household trash. Do not, unless specifically instructed to do so, flush the medications down your toilet. Additional information is provided by the FDA at http://www.fda.gov/consumer/updates/drug_disposal062308.html.
