Previously it was believed that flushing unused pet medications down the toilet was the preferred method of disposing of them. However, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has found that this method can cause harm to fish as the medication can find its way into water streams. Plus, it may even help bacteria become resistant to certain medications.
In partnership with the American Pharmacists Association (APhA) and the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has developed the SMARxT Disposal campaign. Just click on the link to take you to the website that explains this campaign.
If you keep these steps in mind before you throw out your pet's unused medications, it will help protect your pet, family, and the environment.
