At least once a year you should take inventory of any medications you have in your home to keep your medicine cabinet up to date. Follow these simple steps to be prepared and to ensure safety for your at-home medications. Check expiration dates on all products and discard outdated products or any old supplies. There are multiple sites in our community that can take back your medication and dispose of it properly for you.
