Hi, Amelia.

It would be nice if, along with the side effects of the meds., the label for the meds. also would state where meds. should be disposed. It would also be of benefit and importance for doctors and pharmacists to educate patients on proper disposal.

Thanks.

I had some medication I was not using, so I gave it back to the doctor who prescribed it. Apparently Medicare did not cover it, so she new some elderly people on a fixed income that she could give it to. It was sealed in individual doses, so there was no way it could have been tampered with though. We also have a free clinic and pharmacy here that take medications, but I don't know about what they would do with meds in an open container.

Many of the cancer mom's boxed up lots of leftover meds and medical supplies and sent them to Haiti. I know others that have donated to charitable public health organizations in their city. They were always grateful for everything and told us to ignore the expiration dates and bring them in anyway.
