Are you aware of the risks in disposing of medication patches?

Do you throw medication patches such as hormone or morphine patches in the bin at home? Drug residues may still be left on the patch, which can be dangerous for small children and pets. If they lick it, there could be serious consequences.

You can safely return medication plasters to the pharmacy. After use, fold the plaster in half, with the sticky side inwards, and keep it in the box. Bring the box with the used plasters to your pharmacy for safe disposal.
