WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA  — In conjunction with the Pender County Sheriff’s office, Village Pharmacy of Hampstead will be part of the Drug Take Back day on Thursday, September 24, 2015.
The community is encouraged to bring their expired, unused prescription and over-the-counter medications to Village Pharmacy at the Beacon  14057 US-17, Hampstead, NC.
“Perhaps a family member has passed away and has a medicine cabinet full of prescriptions”, says Elizabeth Caveness, PharmD, and owner of Village Pharmacy.  “It’s important that these medicines be disposed of properly. You should never flush medications down the toilet or pour it down the drain. Nor should they be simply thrown in the trash.”
By carelessly discarding medicines, they could get into the wrong hands.  Take precaution and we’ll take them back, no questions asked.
Date: Thursday, September 24, 2015
Time: 10:00am – 2:00pm
