How to fill out disposal of unwanted medications

How to fill out disposal of unwanted medications:

1. Gather all unwanted medications from your household.
2. Check the expiration dates on each medication and discard any that are expired.
3. Remove any personal information from the medication bottles or packaging.
4. Research local disposal options. Many pharmacies, hospitals, or law enforcement agencies have specific programs for medication disposal.
5. Follow the guidelines provided by the disposal program. This may involve dropping off the medications at a designated location or using a take-back envelope or container.
6. If there are no local disposal options, it is important to ensure that the medications are disposed of safely. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends mixing the medications with an undesirable substance (such as coffee grounds or kitty litter) and placing them in a sealed bag or container before throwing them in the trash.
7. Never flush medications down the toilet or drain, as they can contaminate the water supply.
