Never flush Viagra down the toilet. This pollutes waterways and harms the environment. Instead, follow these steps for safe disposal.
Mixing with an Unwanted Substance
Mix the pills with an undesirable substance, such as used coffee grounds or kitty litter. This makes the medication less appealing and harder to recover.
Securing the Mixture
Seal the mixture tightly in a sealed, non-descript container like a zip-top bag or empty plastic bottle. This prevents accidental ingestion or access by children or pets.
Proper Disposal
Discard the container in your household trash. Check your local pharmacy or government website for specific disposal guidelines in your area, as regulations may vary.
Returning to a Pharmacy (Optional)
Some pharmacies offer take-back programs for unwanted medications. Contact your local pharmacy to inquire about their policies. This is a convenient and responsible option.
For Large Quantities
If you have a large quantity of expired Viagra, contacting your local waste management department is recommended. They can provide guidance on safe disposal methods for larger volumes of medications.
