The DisposeRx Singles program includes individually packaged DisposeRx packets paired with patient education, allowing pharmacies to merchandise medication disposal as a simple retail solution that fits seamlessly into existing workflow.

The American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychology recommends not saving medication after it is no longer prescribed; instead discarding unused medication using proper disposal procedures.

For generations, American healthcare has measured success by getting patients started on the right medication. We have invested tremendous resources in diagnosing disease, prescribing appropriately, manufacturing medications safely, dispensing them accurately, and improving adherence. These efforts have transformed modern medicine and improved countless lives.

The initiative is designed to do more than provide patients with an easy disposal solution—it also helps raise awareness about an often-overlooked medication safety issue. Many families are unaware that any unused or expired medications left in the home- not just opioids- can increase the risk of accidental poisoning, intentional misuse by family members or visitors, and accidental ingestion by children and pets.

DisposeRx, a leading provider of medication disposal solutions, today welcomed the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) call for public input on standards for in-home opioid disposal products. The Request for Information is an important step toward reducing the volume of unused prescription opioids in American homes, part of the agency’s ongoing efforts to address the opioid crisis.
