Medicines that are languishing in your cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse. The traditional methods of disposing of unused medicines—like flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash—pose potential safety and health hazards, but National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day is a safe and straightforward solution.
