What to do with contaminated medications?

Contaminated medications should not be used and should be disposed of safely to prevent harm. Follow local regulations for medication disposal, which often include returning them to a pharmacy or participating in a take-back program. If these options are unavailable, you can mix the medications with an undesirable substance like coffee grounds or cat litter, seal them in a container, and discard them in the household trash. Always remove personal information from medication containers before disposal.
