Storing expired and unwanted medicines in the home can be dangerous, and disposing of them incorrectly can harm the environment. It’s best to take these medicines to your local community pharmacy for disposal. This is a free service that includes disposal of:

· prescription medicines
· over-the-counter medicines
· herbal or complementary supplements
· gels, liquids and creams
· pet medicines.

If you have children under the age of 5 in the house, store all potentially dangerous substances such as medicines out of their sight and reach. As this age group is at the highest risk of accidental poisoning, you should lock away all medicines if possible.

Having strong pain relievers in the home also present a risk of death or hospitalisation from their improper use. In addition to the above, it’s best not to keep strong pain relievers you are no longer using 'just in case,' leave them where children and pets can take or eat them or put them in domestic garbage bins or flush them down the sink or toilet.
