How does Netmeds' return policy for medicines work? Netmeds has a flexible returns policy. We accept returns within 30 days from delivery. We may allow the return of unopened/unused product(s) after deducting a 20% restocking charge.
How to dispose of unwanted medicines
- Return them to a pharmacy or chemist for safe disposal.
- Do not flush medicines down the toilet.
- Tablet blister packs are not recyclable and should be placed in the waste bin when empty.
- The cardboard box that houses the blister packs can be recycled, as can any paper inserts.
Expired drugs imply financial losses because they should no longer be distributed and must be discarded. Expired drugs must be disposed off safely, without harming people and the environment. Pharmaceutical products may lose their potency in the degradation process.
How to Recycle Unwanted and Expired Medications
- Pour medication into a sealable plastic bag.
- Add kitty litter, sawdust or coffee grounds (or any material that mixes with the medication and makes it less appealing for pets and children to eat) to the plastic bag.
- Seal the plastic bag and put it in the trash.

The best way to dispose of most types* of old, unused, unwanted, or expired medicines (both prescription and over the counter) is to drop off the medicine at a drug take back site, location, or program immediately.
Prior to the 2014 DEA regulation updates, the most common ways to dispose of a resident's medication was either flushing medications down the sink or toilet (sewering) or placing them into a drug disposal pouch and placing it into the trash.
A new study concludes that throwing away unused prescription drugs in the trash may be the most environmentally friendly option. The researchers compared the environmental impact of flushing medication, throwing it in the trash, and burning it. Drugs collected through take-back programs are incinerated.
Follow these steps:
- Remove the drugs from their original containers and mix them with something undesirable, such as used coffee grounds, dirt, or cat litter.
- Put the mixture in something you can close (a re-sealable zipper storage bag, empty can, or other container) to prevent the drug from leaking or spilling out.
Prescription drugs are “scheduled drugs,” so any person who receives a filled prescription meets the above definition. That's right, possession of your own prescription drugs is illegal unless you are careful to possess them only in certain authorized circumstances.
Using PRN or “As Needed” Medicines Safely. Some medications come with specific instructions for use every day, such as “Take 1 tablet by mouth every 8 hours.” Medicines that are taken “as needed” are known as “PRN” medicines. “PRN” is a Latin term that stands for “pro re nata,” which means “as the thing is needed.”
Currently the UK government has no recycling scheme for unused drugs and the majority of unwanted medication is thrown away by patients or taken to the pharmacy for incineration. There is another option however.
If you have medicines that have passed their expiry date, take them to your pharmacist, who can dispose of them safely for you. You should never throw unused or expired medicines in the rubbish bin or flush them down the toilet.
