Safe Disposal of Medications and Supplies

Protecting your home, your health, and the environment.

At Pharma Fusion RX, we believe safety extends beyond your treatment. When medications or medical supplies are no longer needed, disposing of them properly helps prevent accidental use, misuse, and environmental harm.

How to Dispose of Unused or Expired Medications

The best and safest option is to take your unused or expired medicines to a local drug take-back location. Many pharmacies, clinics, and law enforcement offices offer these drop-off sites year-round.

If no take-back site is available:

1. Mix the medicine with an unappealing substance (such as used coffee grounds or cat litter).
2. Place the mixture in a sealed plastic bag or container.
3. Throw it away in your household trash.
4. Remove or scratch out personal information on prescription labels before recycling or discarding the bottles.

Avoid flushing medications unless the product label or your pharmacist specifically instructs you to do so.

Safe Disposal of Used Sharps (Needles, Syringes, or Infusion Supplies)

Used needles, syringes, and infusion sets should always be placed in a puncture-resistant sharps container immediately after use.

• Use an FDA-cleared sharps container if available.
• If not, a heavy-duty plastic household bottle (like a detergent bottle with a tight lid) can be used as a temporary option.
• When the container is about three-quarters full, seal it and follow your local disposal guidelines. Many pharmacies, hospitals, and community programs accept filled containers.
• Never place loose sharps in household trash or recycling.

Pharma Fusion RX can provide a sharps container upon request.
Each kit includes clear disposal instructions and a prepaid, mail-back shipping box so you can safely send the filled container to an authorized disposal site—no need to leave home.
