July 16, 2019Ensure that unwanted prescriptions don’t pose a risk to you and to others.
You shouldn’t have to wonder about how to dispose of your unwanted medications. For a safe, responsible and environmentally f
riendly solution, take your unused or expired medications to your local Pharmasave for disposal.
Pharmasave stores accept all kinds of medications including: prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, topical antibiotic
and antifungal creams (in their original containers), traditional Chinese medicines, natural health products that are taken orally
such as vitamins, minerals, herbal products, probiotics and homeopathic medicines.
Expired drugs or Unused
Pharmacists train medication experts and have the tools and knowledge to dispose of medications safely. Rather than putting
your unwanted medications in the toilet or into the garbage where they can damage the environment or endanger others, place them
in a paper bag and bring them to your Pharmasave pharmacist.
Check your medicine cabinet at least twice a year for expired prescription and non-prescription medications as well as
any medications you no longer need:
- Check expired drugs dates on bottles/containers
- Look for signs of discolouration or strange odours
- Take expired medications to your Pharmasave for disposal
Visit your local Pharmasave today and speak with your Pharmasave pharmacist about how to dispose of medications safely and responsibly.
