Pharmacies

As dispensers of prescription medications, pharmacists have an essential role in educating consumers about proper disposal of unused or expired medications, especially potentially dangerous drugs like prescription narcotics. Ensuring patients are educated on proper drug disposal and leave the pharmacy with a way to destroy unused medication at home can prevent addiction before it starts.

DETERRA DRUG DEACTIVATION SYSTEM

The patented Deterra® System deactivates prescription drugs, pills, patches, liquids, creams and films. Deterra renders them inert, unavailable for misuse and safe for the environment. In a simple 3-step process, a user deactivates the drugs by putting them in a Deterra pouch or container, adding water, sealing, shaking and throwing it away. It’s truly that simple.
