Unused Medication Disposal

Did you know?

Adults, especially seniors, may accidentally take the wrong drugs, or take expired drugs that are less effective.
More than 7 out of 10 people who start abusing prescription drugs get them from the medicine cabinets of friends and family. (American Medical Association)
1 in 7 Montana high school students has taken prescription drugs without a doctor’s prescription.
Among children, emergency room visits for accidental drug poisonings are twice as common as poisoning from other household products.
Putting meds in the trash, flushing or pouring them down the drain contaminates water supplies and soil.

Don’t flush!
