Have you cleaned out your medicine cabinet recently? |
|
Chances are, if you open up your medicine cabinet, you’ll find some old prescription bottles or maybe some leftover medication that “might come in handy someday.” In actuality, those medications may have expired and may cause more harm than you realize. Therefore, we encourage you to take some time to clear out your medicine cabinet.
|
|

Here are four tips to help you get started:
1. Check the dates. Discard any item that is beyond the expiration date. Many medications, vitamins and ointments lose their effectiveness after the expiration date.
2. For prescriptions, follow the one year cut off rule. Get rid of any prescription medications that are more than one year old.
3. Many people don’t realize that the bathroom cabinet is not the best place to store medication. The temperature and humidity changes that take place while the shower is running can lower the potency of your medication. Medications should be kept in a cool dry place, away from children. Consider placing your medications in your bedroom dresser or a lock box in your closet.
4. Be careful about how you dispose of unused medicines. Your local pharmacy, hospital or police department may be able to assist in disposing of medication in a safe manner. Due to the potential harm to the environment, only certain medications should be flushed down the toilet. If your medication is on the FDA flush list, you can flush it down the toilet. If it’s not on the flush list, you should follow these instructions to discard the medicine in your trash at home.
In addition, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is sponsoring the National Prescription Drug Take Back Day, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., on Saturday, Oct. 23. Staffed by pharmacists, this event gives people the chance to properly dispose of their expired, unwanted or unused medications. A complete list of locations that will be serving as collection sites in Western New York is posted on the DEA’s website.
