One way to properly dispose of unused prescription drugs is through a take-back program. These programs allow people to drop off their unused medication in a designated location, such as a police station or local drugstore, for disposal. Some local pharmacists and law enforcement agencies may also accept unwanted medications for safe disposal.

Another option is to mix the medication with things like warm water or coffee grounds and then flush it down the toilet. This will ensure that the drug cannot be recovered or used by someone else.

It’s important to safely dispose of unused prescription drugs, as they can pose safety risks if not discarded properly. If you’re unsure how to do this safely, it’s best to consult with a local pharmacist or police officer for guidance.
