Medication Disposal

 Out of  date or unused drugs can be a health risk for toddlers, teens and pets. About 50,000 children visit the  ER each year from taking drugs in their reach. They can also be misused.  More than 70% of people who misuse prescription drugs get them from friends or family. Over 30,000 overdose deaths each year are  because of this.

There are ways to get rid of old or unused drugs safely:
