Medication Disposal

Sometimes pet owners find themselves with expired, unused, or unwanted pet medications.  We often get questions about disposal of these medications.

The FDA has a helpful website that covers different ways to dispose of unused or expired medications.

The best choice for disposal is through a DEA authorized collector in your area.  Using the search feature of this link, you are able to find pharmacies that will take back the medication for disposal.  Here in Billings, there are several names on the list and the Billings Clinic Atrium Pharmacy has a unwanted medication drop box which available 24/7 and is located in the wall near the Atrium Pharmacy, across from Deaconess Chapel.  Riverstone Health Pharmacy will also take medications during their normal business hours.

Thank you for helping keep medications out of the wrong hands by disposing of them properly!
