Never flush Viagra down the toilet. This pollutes waterways. Instead, utilize the FDA’s recommended disposal methods.
Medication Take-Back Programs
Locate nearby drop-off sites through the DEA’s website (www. dea. gov) or by contacting your local pharmacy. These programs offer secure and environmentally responsible disposal of unwanted medications, including Viagra.
Home Disposal Method
If a take-back program isn’t readily available, mix Viagra pills with undesirable substances like used coffee grounds or kitty litter. Seal the mixture tightly in a sealed plastic bag and discard in your household trash.
Pharmacy Disposal
Many pharmacies accept unused medications for disposal. Check with your local pharmacy to confirm their policy and procedures. Always confirm their acceptance of Viagra specifically before bringing it in.
Protecting Children and Pets
Store Viagra securely, away from children and pets, in a locked cabinet. Improper storage poses serious risks.
Consult Your Doctor
For large quantities of unused Viagra or questions about safe disposal, consult your doctor or pharmacist. They can provide tailored guidance.
