Title: DISPOSING OF UNWANTED HRT
Post by: Beaker on June 26, 2020, 10:49:56 AM

Due to various hiccups in my progression on the HRT path, I have a stash of unwanted in-date HRT in my house.  What's the best method of disposing of it?  From my online research, I see that returning it to the Pharmacy is the recommended advice, but I think that the medication is destroyed and not used.  Is this correct?  It seems a bit of a waste.

Yes it can't be used once it's left the pharmacy so they take it back and it gets sent away to be destroyed safely xx
