What can you do to help prevent


prescription drug abuse?
Monitor
Know what medications are in your home. Keep a regular inventory and
avoid stockpiling medicines.

Secure
Keep your medicine secure from children and adolescents. Keep medicine
under lock and key to prevent theft.

Dispose
Do not flush any medications. Bring unwanted or unused household
medications and prescriptions to one of the safe medication disposal sites.
