See the FDA's Safe Disposal of Medicines website ( ) for more information if you do not have access to a take-back program.FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – – Worcester, MA. Talk to your pharmacist or contact your local garbage/recycling department to learn about take-back programs in your community. Instead, the best way to dispose of your medication is through a medicine take-back program. However, you should not flush this medication down the toilet. Unneeded medications should be disposed of in special ways to ensure that pets, children, and other people cannot consume them. To protect young children from poisoning, always lock safety caps and immediately place the medication in a safe location – one that is up and away and out of their sight and reach. It is important to keep all medication out of sight and reach of children as many containers (such as weekly pill minders and those for eye drops, creams, patches, and inhalers) are not child-resistant and young children can open them easily. Store it at room temperature and away from excess heat and moisture (not in the bathroom). Keep this medication in the container it came in, tightly closed, and out of reach of children. Older adults should not usually take senna products over a long period of time because they are not as safe as other medications that can be used to treat the same condition.
