Every Day is Prescription Drug Take Back Day at Inova

Prescription Drug Take Back Secure Prescription Collection Boxes at Inova In an effort to help reduce the risk of drugs in the home that can be a source of drug abuse, Inova has set up seven secure, safe drop-off locations across its hospitals. This is part of an effort to offer a convenient medication take-back option for easy disposal of leftover, unused and out-of-date prescription and over-the-counter medications. All medication must be placed in a sealed container. Multiple vials can be emptied into a zip-close bag for disposal.  Empty vials should be disposed of in the regular trash at home after removing or marking out personal information with a black permanent marker.
