I’m an Ohio pharmacist by training.  I care about medication safety, so I picked Drug Take-Back Day for today’s episode.  In this episode, I talk about what Drug Take-Back Day is and why it should be important to you (a prospective, new, or current Perrysburg, OH resident).  

For more than a decade, the event has helped Americans rid their homes of unneeded medications—those that are old, unwanted, or expired—that too often become a gateway to addiction.  Drug Take-Back boxes and events also help prevent medication errors and accidental poisonings.  Clean out your medicine cabinet today!
