Did you know ... the incorrect disposal of drugs may be affecting our environment, especially our waterways.   Studies in the United States and Italy have revealed that traces of contraceptive drugs in waterways can cause sterility in frogs.  Studies are underway in New Zealand to see if its a problem here too.  

Pharmaceutical products must not be poured down storm drains. 

Disposal

The Southland District Health Board (SDHB) advices to return all unwanted or unused medication to your local pharmacy or chemist for safe disposal.
