Disposing unused medicines in environment friendly way
While flushing unwanted or expired medications down the toilet is common practice, Health Canada says this may harm the environment.
Here’s how to properly dispose of medications: Today’s Health Tips * Check to see if your pharmacy has a drug recycling programme. * See if your municipality incinerates drugs. If so, take your unused medications to your municipality’s waste disposal depot. * At least once a year, go through your medicine cabinet and remove prescription drugs that are old or that you no longer take. Dispose of them as suggested above http://www.thenews.com.pk/daily_detail.asp?id=182917 |
