Take it back to the pharmacy for disposal. Flushing it down the toilety can lead to problems for sealife.
Take them into any pharmacy for disposal. Do NOT flush them, or dispose in normal garbage. Medications are now being detected in our drinking water.
from Vegetarian times: “Don’t Flush Sewage treatment officials in the San Francisco Bay area reported in May 2006 that over-the-counter and prescription medications flushed into their treatment systems are ending up in the bay. That’s because sewage plants are designed to handle organic and biodegradable waste, not medicines. “Unfortunately, the advice of the past was ‘Dump it down the toilet.’ Now we’re trying to turn that around,” says Phil Bobel, a spokesman for the Bay Area Pollution Prevention Group. The group held community-wide Safe Medicine Disposal Days in May. Meanwhile, Los Angeles has started its own “No Drugs Down the Drain” program, accepting meds at hazardous-waste drop-off points. We hope other cities will follow.”
