Ellie, I read that you toss your meds in a can with coffee grounds etc. Animals will eat it thinking it is food since they are mixed in with other food stuffs. Yikes! Poor anmals! I even cut plastic yogurt etc containers so they will not get their heads stuck in them. Yoplait cups are bad about that. Says it on label.
I was always taught to flush old meds, but they can be of any use to another, the doc's office may know of someone who needs them. The doc knows you both. Tattoo
