How Do I Dispose Of Old Estrace And Progesterone Pills?
Question: How do I dispose of old estrace and progesterone pills? They are expired. I won't be taking them anymore.
Brief Answer:
Flush them down after removing the foil covering
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to HCM and thanks for your query.
You are right in that you should not take expired pills. You should not leave them at a place where someone else might find and use.
You could open the covering and flush down the tablets in the toilet, so that no one can access them.
