Fill medications at one pharmacy

This makes it easier for pharmacists to identify potential interactions among your medications. Always double-check for potential interactions before taking something new. Be aware that some medications interact with alcohol. 


Be aware of the source

Recently, there has been an increase in cases of online, illegal pharmacies selling counterfeit pills. Use a trusted pharmacy.


Understand risks of sharing

Medications approved for you may harm others. It is also illegal to distribute prescription medications to others, including friends. 


Dispose of unused/expired medication

Proper disposal protects the environment and the health of others. You can use free drug deactivation bags (available in the Zenker Wellness Suite), or the drug disposal box in the WUPD office.
