Dispose of Unused Medication Safely With Mediback
Most of us have a drawer full of old or leftover medicines that we're not sure what to do with. Flushing them down the sink or putting them in the bin is harmful to the environment and potentially dangerous to others. The Mediback scheme is Ireland's national medication return programme, and at Drinagh Pharmacy, we're proud to be a local drop-off point. Returning your unused medication is quick, free, and makes a real difference.
