Due to my MS I take large quantities of meds each day. If you have meds that you don't want or that are out dated, return them to the pharmacy to be destroyed. You won't get money back, of course, but this is THE safe way to dispose of medication.

Please DO NOT dispose of medication by flushing them down the toilet. Even though sewage treatment plants clean the water, they are sometimes unable to remove traces of some medications. In some places, there are unreasonable amounts of ssri meds (antidepressants) in the water supply due to people getting rid of meds this way.

Selling your meds or giving your meds to someone else is certainly illegal. If anything happened to the person who took your meds, YOU are responsible.

Pharmacies won't allow meds to be returned as there is no way for them to tell if the meds have been tampered with. Once you buy them, they are yours.
