Nizhny Novgorod residents were reminded about the proper disposal of expired medications.

      Medicines that were once useful can lose their effectiveness and even become dangerous to health after their expiration date. Therefore, it is important to monitor the contents of your home medicine cabinet and timely dispose of expired medications. The editor-in-chief of the MIA "Statsionar-Press," Alexey Nikонов, reminded that improper storage and disposal of medications can lead to serious consequences. Birds and other animals may accidentally swallow expired pills, which can cause poisoning. Additionally, pharmacologically active substances can enter the environment and harm the ecosystem. If you have expired medications at home, do not throw them in trash containers. Instead, take them to specialized collection points. In Nizhny Novgorod, such a point is the State Pharmacy located at: 21 Gruzinskaya Street. Various types of packaging from medications can be submitted at this point, such as glass and plastic bottles, aluminum and plastic tubes, blister packs with tablets, capsules, and suppositories. However, it is worth remembering that thermometers, syringes, and old blood pressure monitors are not accepted in these containers.
