I'd prolly have to do the pharmacy thing... they are no longer any good.. I didn't keep them refridgerated for one and for two they are expired I am sure... I wish I would have done something with them when I first stopped taking it. I hate to waste such expensive helpful medicine.. Thanks for the info tho!! :)

I found a hospital near me that takes used syringes as part of their program for diabetics. I feel much better about taking the syringes there than throwing them in the trash.

The nurse at the clinic that trained me on Copaxone told me to throw the needles in a heavy plastic container, duct tape the top, and throw it in the trash. I was was incredulous that the hospital would recommend this. She said that's what they tell people, otherwise they would have too many needles to dispose of.

Most any pharmacy is happy to take your meds and dispose of them without them ending up in your local water supply from flushing it or washing it down the sink. Whether pills, shots, or creams, its better to let the pros do it. We have alot of meds in our water supply now, I am glad you are being safe. :hug:

You know, I used to think the same thing. When I had a cabinet full of expired meds (antibiotics, painkillers, etc)., I went around to all the pharmacies around me asking if they would take and dispose of them. None would. I even went to the local hospital. They didn't want anything to do with them. I ended up incinerating them myself.

There needs to be a better system of disposing of expired meds.
