Old Expired Prescriptions
 

Is there any place in the Brownwood Area that takes old prescriptions and dispose them properly?

A lot of PD's do. You could check with Wildwood P.D. or Sumter Co. Sheriffs Dept. Also some Walgreen Drug Stores do also. :ho:

The only place i know of is Walgreens drug store near the TV hospital. Twice a year the county has a drug drop of in Lake Sumter.

:) Like the Walgreens drug store near the TV hospital, it's not near Brownwood but the lobby of the Lady Lake P.D. has a drop box for unwanted drugs. One could stop next time on the way to Sam's Club. (next door) :ho:

Fruitland Park PD has one in the lobby AT City Hall/P.D. It's over by Rose Plantation behind new library. :coolsmiley:

I live near Colony Walgreen's. I'll try there.
Thanks for the reply's.

Take to sheriffs office

I went to the Sheriff's office at the corner of Morse and Rt 466 and they said they take them anytime.

Any Walgreens should have a locked box by the pharmacy to dispose of drugs

Go to the FDA website. Some are flushable but many are not. You can put the tablets in a sealable bag. Add a bit of water with kitty litter, saw dust or dirt. Seal the bag and dispose in the trash. I recently did this with multiple hospice medications.

Benzer Pharmacy has a metal container in the store that you can drop expired prescriptions into whenever the pharmacy is open. Location is 725 County Road 466, Lady Lake, FL 32159. Phone: 352-633-2105

I agree that they should, but they don't. The only Walgreens in The Villages that has a prescription drop box is the one on Bella Cruz near the hospital.

In the state of FL, you can dispose of old meds at home. If the medication is a pill, put enough water into the vile to cover the meds, put the cover on and let the pills dissolve then throw in the trash. If its a capsule, also dissolve them and toss in the trash, or empty the capsules into the vile, cover with water to dissolve, then toss. If its a liquid, dilute it in enough water and then toss.

I heard that the police stations have boxes but do not know how true that is Sorry.

Walmart pharmacy gave me DisposeRX - a powder to mix with water to dispose of old meds.
