What should I do with a prescription I had filled but no longer can take?!
Question: I would hate to just throw it away.
Answers: I would hate to just throw it away.
Call the pharmacy where you got it refilled & ask them if they will take the medication back. Most pharmacies recycle the medication safely in a hazardous waste container. Due to possible contamination, they probably won't redispense that medicine to someone else.
Do NOT flush it! There was just a news story in my area that was researched for 2 years about medications in our drinking water. Some filter systems don't remove all traces & we're drinking flushed prescriptions.
Check Y!A for previous questions similar to yours. I've seen several answers where people have said to flush medications. Thanks for the best answer choice. Report It
