How to discard expired drugs during the Spring Festival cleaning?

During the Spring Festival cleaning, people also swept out expired drugs. Many people throw drugs into the stable boy and wash them away, while others pour drugs into the sink. However, the pharmacist warned that such a small move may pollute the soil and water of this land. Different drug treatments are also different. By the end of the year, many people will have the same question-"How to deal with expired drugs?" "Should I keep it for later use or throw it away? Liao, director of the Pharmacy Department of Fengyuan Hospital, said that expired drugs should be packaged separately, medicine bags and bottles should be recycled, and drugs should be burned together with general garbage to avoid harming the environment. In addition, if people find that the appearance of the drug changes color, they should not take it again. The shelf life on the package refers to the shelf life in unopened condition. If you have been driving for a while, don't eat any more, lest you eat it and it will hurt your health. As for how to discard drugs, some people think that the toilet poured into the sink is clean and slippery, but in fact it is just the opposite! Director Liao explained that because drugs are refined and have high purity, if they are treated as wastewater in toilets, it will easily cause water pollution and destroy the environment and ecology. The best treatment method is to burn it with ordinary garbage. If it is bottled medicine, you can pour the remaining medicine into the bag and rinse the medicine bottle with clear water. The washed water can be poured together with the liquid medicine, and toilet paper or tea residue can be put in a bag to absorb the liquid medicine to avoid exposure. Waste medicine is discarded together with general garbage, and the garbage truck is sent to the incinerator for incineration, and the packaging parts of medicine bottles and bags are recycled to reduce environmental pollution. Addictive drugs should be treated specially. Director Liao reminded that if the remaining drugs are controlled drugs, they should be brought back to the original prescribing unit or the nearest medical institution for recycling. Such drugs are expensive and addictive. Pharmacists will log in and recycle drugs according to their status, and those unsuitable for use will be listed for destruction. On the one hand, they will save medical resources, and also avoid eating by mistake or outflow, resulting in drug abuse and other problems.
