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
