What can I do to make sure my prescription opioids stay safe?

June 1, 2015 By

  • Store them in a secure and dry place. Invest in a home lock box.
    • Do not leave your medicine out on a counter or in plain view. This makes them easy to steal.
  • Count your pills regularly to check for missing medication.
  • Never share your medications.
  • Don’t discuss your medications with others.
    • Discussing your prescriptions around people can make you an easy target for someone looking to get pain medicine. Your medicine is your business.
  • Dispose of your unused medications.
    • Check out our drop box locations page to find a drop box nearest you. Disposing of pills in this manner ensures for a safe and secure disposal, preventing medicine from falling in the wrong hands.
