How do I dispose of my medication?

  • Follow any specific disposal instructions on the medication label or patient information that accompanies the medication. Do not flush prescription medication down the toilet unless this information specifically instructs you to do so.
  • Take advantage of your community The North Carolina Operation Medicine Drop program that allow the public to bring unused drugs to a central location for proper disposal. Call your city or county government’s household trash and recycling service (see blue pages in phone book) to see if a take­ back program is available in your community. The Drug Enforcement Administration, working with state and local law enforcement agencies, is sponsoring National Prescription Drug Take Back Days throughout the United States.
  • If no instructions are given on the medication label and no take-back program is available in your area, throw the drugs in the household trash, but first:
    • Take them out of their original containers and mix them with an undesirable substance, such as used coffee grounds or kitty litter. The medication will be less appealing to chi ldren and pets, and unrecognizable to people who may intentionally go through your trash.
    • Put them in a sealable bag, empty can, or other container to prevent the medication from leaking or breaking out of a garbage bag.

FDA’s Deputy Director of the Office of Compliance offers some additional tips:

  • Before throwing out a medicine container, scratch out all identifying information on the prescription label to make it unreadable. This will help protect your identity and the privacy of your personal health information.
  • Do not give medications to friends. Doctors prescribe drugs based on a person’s specific symptoms and medical history. A medication that works for you could be dangerous for someone else.
  • When in doubt about proper disposal, talk to your pharmacist.

The same disposal methods for prescription medication could apply to over-the -counter drug s as well.

Please visit the FDA website for the current guidelines on medication disposal.

What is Advance Directive?

Advance Directives are forms that say, in advance, what kind of treatment you want or do not want under serious medical conditions. Some conditions, if severe, may make you unable to tell the doctor how you want to be treated at that time. Your Advance Directives will help the doctor to provide the care you would wish to have. Most hospitals and home health organizations are required to provide you with information on Advance Directives. Many are required to ask you if you already have Advance Directives prepared. Learn more about advance directives.
