3 KEYS TO PRESCRIPTION DRUG SAFETY

The misuse of prescription medication can be prevented. If we Take Meds Seriously Oregon, we can improve safety for ourselves, our families, our communities and our environment. Together we can make a difference.

Safe Use

Safe use ensures your prescription medicine is helping you as intended. You can help combat the dangers of prescription drug misuse by using your prescription drugs only as directed.

Safe Storage

Prescription medication is secured from the time it leaves the manufacturer until the time it’s dispensed at a pharmacy. At that point it becomes our responsibility to safely store medication at home.

Safe Disposal
