Scotland’s health boards spend up to £18m disposing of medicines that go unused and expire. Improper disposal of unused or expired medicines – such as binning them or flushing them down the toilet - can also cause environmental contamination and public health risks.

Always check prescription medicines before you leave your pharmacy and hand back any you don’t need. Once you leave, medicines become your property and can’t be re-used or recycled. They should always be returned to your pharmacy for safe disposal rather than stockpiled.
