Safe disposal of medications helps prevent medication misuse, accidental ingestion of the wrong medicine, or use of expired medication.

The Deterra Drug Deactivation and Disposal System is independently tested and scientifically proven to destroy drugs for good. The patented, easy-to-use drug disposal system can be used at home or in a clinical setting to safely destroy unused or expired medications, making them unavailable for misuse and safe for disposal in the normal trash.
