Flush the Fuss About Proper Med Disposal
October 2025
Patients continue to ask how to get rid of old or unused meds.
Encourage immediate disposal...and avoid keeping meds “just in case.” Many accidental poisonings at home occur from leftover meds.
Highlight take-back options first...such as mail-back programs or receptacles at pharmacies or police stations. Patients can also use the DEA’s Drop-Off Locations website...or type “drug disposal” in search engines or smartphone maps. Educate to remove all PHI before disposal.
