How Many Patients Dispose Medicines Safely

If you have medicines you no longer need, bring them to Lansdales Pharmacy for safe disposal. This includes prescription medicines and items you bought over the counter. Keep them in their original packs where possible, then place everything in a sealed bag for transport. 

Do not put medicines in your household bin or flush them down the toilet or sink. Returning them to a pharmacy helps prevent accidental poisoning, misuse, and environmental harm. Once medicines have left a pharmacy, they cannot be reused, even if unopened.

Drop in during opening hours. Please bring medicines in a sealed bag, in original packs. Ask the team if you have inhalers, creams, liquids or sharps.
