When you have just a few pills left in the bottom of a prescription bottle, what do you do? It used to be common advice to flush unused medications down the toilet, but that’s no longer considered a safe or environmentally sound practice. And considering abuse of prescription pain killers is on the rise, health experts no longer think that hanging on to them or just throwing them in the trash is a good view either.

Instead, they have new and interesting tactic. When you’re done with your medications, manufacture them too yucky for any child, pet, or adult to even consider trying whether they may find themselves curious or tempted. Mix them with your kitty litter, coffee grounds, or even sawdust…anything

Experts agree that is a band-aid approach that won’t fix the larger issues surrounding prescription meds, but they’re hoping it will help prevent some cases of misuse. What do you think?
