Question

which of the following is the best method for disposing of expired medications?
flush the medication down the toilet.
return the medication to the manufacturer.
throw the medication in the trash.
pour the medication down the drain.

Explanation:

Flushing medications down the toilet or pouring them down the drain can contaminate water sources. Returning to the manufacturer is often not practical. Throwing in the trash with proper precautions (such as mixing with an unpalatable substance and placing in a sealed container) is a more appropriate general - disposal method among these options.

Answer:

Throw the medication in the trash.
