Respect the power of medications. Take as prescribed. 
Do not take prescription medications without medical approval. Like illicit drugs, prescription medications can be dangerous with potentially serious consequences if misused or abused. - Discard old or expired medications in a safe way! Utilizing drop boxes prevents medications from ending up in our water supply or in the hands of others.
- Local medication drop boxes are available all over Georgia! Check out the interactive map of locations.
- Additionally, UGA PD has a “no questions asked” policy to accept illegal drugs in their drop box on campus.
- Can’t make it to a drop box? There are alternate methods to safely dispose of meds at home.
- Questions or concerns? Your UHC Pharmacists are here to help!
