Have you ever wondered what to do with expired or unwanted medications you have at home? I have two little ones I always make it a priority to double-check my medicine cabinet every 6 months to see what medications are expired and no longer needed. It’s important we check because you’d be surprised to find how much-unwanted medicine you may be stored unintentionally. There is a great program called, LifeInCheck Consumer Drug Take-Back ™ which is working to help educate Americans on the dangers of leaving prescription drugs unattended in the home. From diminishing the risk of drug abuse to helping protect the environment, disposing of your medications properly makes your community a healthier, safe place. We all want a healthier and safer community for our children, and disposing of these medications properly will help alleviate the dangers associated with not disposing of them the right way. Some people may think that flushing them down the toilet, pouring them in the drain, or throwing them in the garbage is the correct way of disposing of unwanted medications, but it’s not. This can cause damage to our environment.

Unfortunately, there is a massive opioid crisis that is plaguing many families, and in an effort to assist in reducing these issues and bringing awareness to this issue, LifeInCheck Consumer Drug Take-Back ™ created a program that provides consumers with a safe option to discard their unused or outdated prescription medications in secure kiosks located across the US. I also want to share where you can find a kiosk near you where you can dispose of any unwanted medications. You can visit this website: <a hef=http://bit.ly/3JvlbqP all you have to do is enter your zip code and it will provide a list of safe drug take-back kiosks in your area. Now is the perfect time to dispose and bring awareness to this issue because it’s National Prescription Drug Take Back Day on April 22nd! I thank you for helping keep our communities safe.
