National Prescription Drug Take Back Day is this Saturday, April 25. You can help educate the public on how to avoid medication misuse and encourage patients to remove unneeded medications from their homes by providing information in your store, in person, or on social media.
Learn more about the initiative here. The Drug Enforcement Administration also has posters, pamphlets, social media resources, and other tools you can use to inform your patients how to safely dispose of medications.
And make sure your pharmacy is listed on the NCPA Foundation’s Medication Disposal Locator at Dispose My Meds so customers know where to take their unwanted and expired medications. The NCPA Foundation also offers discounts on various Sharps TakeAway. The foundation also launched its Secure Sharps Disposal program in partnership with Medical Waste Pros. Enroll today at ncpafoundationsharpsenrollment.org and a certified enrollment adviser will guide you through onboarding.
