Best advice, throw them away, knowing what they are will not change much. And perhaps not loaning the bag to them again

This is great advice. Keep in mind that when you do throw them away flush them down the toilet so no one will ever use them. That is the roll of thumb when it come to disposing old or unwanted pills. You also can take them to a pharmacy for disposal as well.

N0help4u agrees: I assumed people would throw them in the garbage IN the bottle with the cap on and as I further explained in your post on the subject

They say now DO NOT throw them in the toilet because the sewage plants are complaining about being clogged with undigested pills and pills that are throw away in the toilet.

They say to throw them in the garbage wrapped in paper with used coffee grounds, old cooking grease, kitty litter etc...
***edit--dish soap better choice than grease if you have to throw them away and can't get to the drug store to get rid of them.

labman disagrees: Dogs love grease. In fact it is often used to get them to take pills they would otherwise refuse.

Regardless over what ever is the best way to dispose of unwanted pills in the house. I really cant see how pills made for your body to dissolve in your digest system will affect your wast. If people are afraid of that then why not take it to a drug store to a pharmacist and they will dispose of it for you. I would never put it in the trash for the sake of animals will eat anything. As well if a crow or Sigel grabs the bag and drops it anywhere, it would make it accusable to kids. Kids usually mistake pills for vitamins.

As well to add from your site you googled. it states "If the drugs are particularly powerful and addictive painkillers or stimulants, flush them down the toilet instead of disguising them in waste, if the label says the drugs are flushable" Remember that the pills where found. and are unkown.

N0help4u agrees: That is why they say throw it away wrapped up in messy garbage that animals wouldn't want to touch

Because the pill will dissolve in the water and may not be cleared by conventional water cleansing proceedures. Also a perfectly harmless substance can be converted into a toxin via reacting with other substances in the water.

Toxicity not only depends on the dose of the compond but the combined dose of other compounds present in the water which can form a cocktail with a synergistic toxicity effect.

Other problems are for the environment, if the drug disposed is a hormone or steroid it can be articually damaging. Toxins such as these can accumulate in animals higher up the food change to fatal levels. They can alter the growth of organisms and unbalance fragile ecosystems.

If the drug is an antibiotic it can decrease the efficacy of cleaning processes in wastewater treatment plant by killing bacterium used to digest waste.

Also don't be fooled into the false security that it's only a small amount. If everyone thought like that we would be knee high in rubbish because 'it's only a small wrapper.'

Just take drugs to the pharmacy where they can be properly disposed of, after all it is free.

N0help4u agrees: Yep They say that many tablets do not entirely dissolve in our system. They say our drinking water is full of female estrogen because of the female pills not dissolving properly
Scottish2008 agrees: I agree 100% and Thank you. The pharmacy is the best rout.

The point is to bury it in the garbage can in stuff that no person would want to take the pill out of.
If you have it wrapped up in paper with coffee grounds, kitty litter, old grease, etc...and buried in the garbage can with a lid the dogs shouldn't be able to get into it. Use dish soap or something if you don't have a secure lid or afraid animals are able to get into it with whatever you do. Sorry I assumed for people to realize you don't leave it in the garbage in such a way that animals would get into it but secure it enough that they can't.
If they are getting into your garbage for old grease you must have some mess when you throw away old cooking oils, meat fats and grease.

This poor lady isn't asking about throwing away drugs, she is worried that her child is taking drugs! She entitled her question "Worried Mum" and states she lent the bag to a relative. I don't want to minimize the other issue of proper disposal but that isn't the question at hand. Nohelp, that website you posted in your first response is a portal for paid advertisers. It doesn't help the average person identify anything.

Nutcracker, the easiest way to identify the drug is to take it to your local pharmacist and ask for help. He has a drug identifier catalogue. Explain your concern to him. I am sure he will help you.

N0help4u agrees: Oh I must of done the wrong link I had three sites up and one had some similar pills oh well!
