Avoid Wasting Medicines
Did you know that any unused medicines you take back to the Pharmacist cannot be reused, even if you have not opened the packet?
Please do not put unused medicines in the household rubbish or down the toilet. Medicines should be taken to your nearest pharmacy, where they will be disposed of safely.
Each year large sums of money are wasted due to medicines being thrown away. Instead of wasting this money, we would like to make sure this money is spent on improving healthcare, like reducing hospital waiting lists and we can do this by reviewing your medicines regularly.
