big campaign to ask every one to stop flushing medicines down the toilet, to stop the medicines entering the river/food chain.
Pharmacies are obliged to take your unused medicines.

Not to mention plasters and ear buds.

Remember the three "P's"
No to Pee, poo,and paper.

Hospital once phoned me saying to pick up husbands prescription and get it straight away. Did so then got another call saying it was the wrong stuff. Refused to give me a refund. What an arsehole!

My prescription changed just a day after collecting the old prescription. I returned the first to the pharmacy immediately. Was informed that no returned pills & potions could be used as they wouldn't know how the medication had been stored. Too hot, too cold or whatever. So all retuned medication is destroyed.
