FAMILIES & CAREGIVERS Protecting the people who rely on you most
Why It MattersWhy we support families & caregivers
Medications are a part of daily life. Antibiotics from last winter, pain pills from surgery, the pet’s leftover prescription, bottles your parents brought on their last visit. They sit quietly in your cabinet, easy to forget.
But unused medications create preventable risks. The home medicine cabinet is one of the most common sources of medication misuse in America. Teens and young adults often start with what’s already at home—or what they find at a friend’s house.
DisposeRx helps you take control with a simple, immediate way to remove that risk—right at home, right away.
By using DisposeRx, you can:
Prevent accidental poisonings in children and pets
Reduce risks for teens and young adults

How we work with youWhat a safer home looks like with us
Each DisposeRx packet contains a non-toxic powder that, when mixed with water and leftover medication in the vial, forms a gel that traps the active ingredients in place, making them inaccessible, unusable, and safe for household trash disposal.
Families and caregivers use DisposeRx every day in simple yet powerful ways:
-
A mom clearing out the medicine drawer before a sleepover.
-
A son helping his aging parents organize their prescriptions.
-
A pet owner tossing old antibiotics.
-
A caregiver making sure expired medications are out of reach.
Every packet represents protection: a medicine cabinet cleared, a risk removed, and a family safer than they were a minute before.
