31 Prevention: Secure Medicine Return Programs Margaret Shield PhD Community Environmental Health Strategies LLC

32 Mind Your Meds Safe Kids Talk to your kids and family members about the risks of medicine misuse and abuse. Safe Use Take meds as directed. Never share your meds. If prescribed pain meds, take lowest possible dose. Safe Storage Keep all medicines in secure place. Count your pills. Lock them up. Safe Disposal Protect your family and the environment: use a secure drop box for safe disposal of unused medicines.

33 About 1/3 of Medicines Sold to Households Go Unused For many reasons: Changes due to side effects or to find best treatment Use As Needed medicines expire before used. Medicines leftover after serious illness. Medicines leftover after end-of-life care, including strong pain relievers. Overprescribing. Many actions underway. Overpurchasing of OTCs, encouraged by advertising. Patient doesn t finish.

34 Many Types of Medicines Abused Commonly Abused Rx Drugs Opioids Stimulants Sedatives Anti-anxiety drugs Commonly Abused Over-The-Counter drugs cough/cold medicines (DXM) antihistamines diet pills laxatives, diuretics loperamide (Immodium) Adderall misuse among young adults rose 67% and ER visits increased,

35 Secure Medicine Return: Safe for Your Family and Our Environment Secure and safe. Reduces access and risks. Helps prevent medicine abuse, poisonings, and overdoses. Environmentally sound. Keeps waste medicines from adding to pharmaceutical pollution. FDA, DEA, EPA, and local agencies recommend secure medicine return as better than trash disposal.
