 Did You Know?

Expired over-the-counter medications and unused prescription drugs can make your medicine cabinet a dangerous and confusing place. Be an active partner in your own health care by doing an annual check:

  • Dispose of expired over-the-counter medicines and unused prescription pills that you no longer need
  • Make a list of all medications you take on a regular basis. The list should include: name and dosage, which physician prescribed it, date started, why and how the drug is taken, and any side effects
  • Discuss the list with your physician to ensure none of the medications may harm you if taken together, or with alcohol
