What should I do? 

Join our crusade to keep prescription drugs out of the wrong hands. Please — dispose of them RXesponsibly. Some medications can be disposed of safely when mixed with an approved additive in a drug deactivation system, something endorsed by the National Institute on Drug Abuse. Be sure it is scientifically proven to deactivate drugs.
