Here’s how to handle your pharmaceutical waste


PETALING JAYA: The public should ensure that spoiled, expired or unused medicines are not thrown into domestic trash cans, toilets or sinks, as they can end up contaminating our water sources and contribute to health problems or worse, deaths, says the Health Ministry.

Instead, these medicines should be taken to collection centres at public or private health facilities, or selected chain pharmacies for proper disposal.
