Don’t discard medicine down the drain
I don’t know about you, but I have always thrown left over medicine in the toilet and flushed them.
Well, it turns out this is not the best thing to do because sometimes it pollutes our lakes and streams. The patient information sheet you receive will tell you if it is safe to flush them down the toilet.
Call your pharmacist and local city official to find out where you can drop off old prescriptions.
