The 22nd National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day April 30th, 2022 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM Earth Day is quickly approaching, and it is a great reminder to do some Spring cleaning. As we look to ways to improve our environment inside and out, the Poison Center encourages you to check your cabinets, cupboards, and bags to fi nd any expired, unwanted, or unused medications. Timely disposal of prescription and over the counter medicines can reduce the risk of others taking the medications accidentally or misusing the medications. Keep your medications in their original containers, locked up, and stored out of sight. Call your local poison center for more information about medication safety. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) National Prescription Take-Back Day provides a safe, convenient, and responsible means to prescription drug disposal. Disposing of unused, unwanted, or expired medication can help prevent another person from drug misuse, abuse, and overdose. Prescription medications are only to be used by the person they are prescribed for. Please ask a physician, pharmacist, or other healthcare provider if you have questions about your medications. On DEA National Rx Take-Back Day communities will be sponsoring take back sites. Please visit their website at Take Back Day (dea.gov) and utilize the collection site locator. Every day is Take-Back Day in Nebraska. Nebraska Meds Coalition has additional resources to fi nding drug-take back sites as well as a zip code location tool to help you locate a participating pharmacy near you. Never fl ush unwanted medications! Visit the website at: Nebraska MEDS Every day, 24/7, 365 days a year nurses specially trained in poison information are available to assist with disposal questions, medication mix ups and exposures.
