D
Discard unused portions of drugs or outdated drugs in a bag containing coffee grounds or kitty litter. This ensures that no one in the household uses a drug not prescribed for their use or that will be ineffective pharmacologically. Insulin may be stored in the refrigerator, but this is not necessary. Discard sharps in puncture-resistant sharps containers or in a 2-liter soda bottle with a cap. Do not place different medicines in the same container.
