There are several ways to dispose of prescription medicines after a patient dies. The safest way of disposing them is to return them to the Pharmacy, and the Pharmacy will take on the responsibility of proper disposal of the medication.
There are other alternatives available such as throwing it away in your own garbage. However it is recommended that if you throw it away to mix the medication in with something undesirable to prevent an animal or person from consuming the medication. Often cat litter or coffee grinds are used.
