Creighton University's Mission Medication Disposal
Promoting Safe and Environmentally-Friendly Medication Disposal

.

What is our mission?

Our mission is to create a simple way for our patients to dispose their unused medications. We strive for a product that is safe to use and is as environmentally friendly as possible.

Why should you care about disposing of your unused medication?

-Medications kept beyond their expiration date may no longer reach their intended therapeutic effect.

-Medications can be taken by other people, which adversely effects their health and is a violation of federal law.

-Flushing your medication down the toilet can have unintended consequences for the environment. (NOTE: There are a select few medications that the FDA specifically asks you to flush. Please see this link.)

-Medications can be stolen and sold illegally.

-Medications can be used by minors in pill parties. Please see video below.
