During my 22 years as an Ohio-licensed pharmacist, I\u2019ve taken an interest in Drug Disposal.\xa0 I believe that pharmacists can make a positive impact in their communities by knowing how to safely dispose of all types of drugs at various times of the year. \xa0
Ideally, there would be a magical box at every pharmacy, and everything could go in it:\xa0 solid tablets, liquid allergy medicine, ear drops, Epi-Pens, creams, nasal sprays, inhalers, and so on.\xa0 However, it just doesn\u2019t work that way.\xa0 As a result, we field questions about drug disposal all the time.\xa0 To prepare you for those inevitable questions you may field about drug disposal, I put together a Drug Disposal Quiz. \xa0
This is a crowd-sourcing episode.\xa0 Feel free to answer one or all of these questions.\xa0 If you submit a response, you may hear it on the podcast!\xa0 I\u2019m accepting answers until Oct 20, 2023. \xa0

- Step Two: Click the Contact tab. \xa0
- Step Three: Click, \u201cStart recording\u201d\xa0
- Step Four: Leave a voicemail message with the question and answer. \xa0
As an alternative, fill out the contact form. I may read your answer on the show.\xa0 If no one answers, you\u2019ll hear my responses on Saturday, October 28, 2023 (Drug Take-Back Day).
