What is the correct method of disposing of unwanted medications?

If you have any unused or out-of-date medicines, please take them to a pharmacy for safe disposal. They cannot be used for other people.

Safe disposal of medicines ensures that they are not taken accidentally by someone else, or put into landfill sites where they can release harmful chemicals into the environment.

Cardboard boxes containing tablets and any paper inserts can be recycled at home.
