Prescription Drug Safety
Keep prescription drugs out of reach of kids and teens or use a lock box or bag to prevent misuse which can harm their health and developing brains. Proper disposal of prescription drugs protects waterways, wildlife, and pets too. Learn more about prescription drug disposal at the VT Dept of Health website.
