    Once in the program, you’re offered a comprehensive medication review. It includes several steps:

     

    1. A health care provider reviews all of your medications to see if there are any drug therapy issues.
    2. If needed, a health care provider will work with your doctor to resolve any drug therapy issues.
    3. The health care provider will talk with you over the phone or in person at your local pharmacy. They’ll review your current drugs (both prescription and over the counter) and your medical conditions. This will take about 30 minutes.
    4. The health care provider will give you a drug list and a recommended to do list to help you manage your medications. Be sure to share this information with your doctor.
    Information for Safe Drug Disposal

    Drugs that are safe for you may be harmful to someone else. Unused and expired drugs should be disposed of as soon as possible. You can discard your unused, unwanted or expired drugs through a community safe disposal program or even at home for certain drugs.

     

    Locating a community safe drug disposal site

    The best way to safely dispose your drugs is at a drug take back site. To find drug take back sites nearest you, visit the website below and enter your location:

     

    https://apps2.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/pubdispsearch/spring/main?execution=e2s1

     

    You can also call your pharmacy or local law enforcement (non-emergency number) for a safe drug disposal site near you. Some pharmacies offer on-site medicine drop-off boxes, mail-back programs, and other ways to help you safely dispose of your unused drugs.

     

    Mailing medications to accepting drug disposal sites

    The United States Drug Enforcement Administration allows prescription medications to be mailed back to select pharmacies or authorized sites using approved packages. Information on these sites can be found at www.deatakeback.com.

     

    Safe at-home drug disposal

    You can safely dispose of many drugs at home through household trash or by flushing them down the toilet. To determine best way to dispose of your drugs, please visit the following website:

     

    https://www.hhs.gov/opioids/prevention/safely-dispose-drugs/index.html

     

    If you are disposing drugs in household trash, follow these recommendations

    • Remove labels to protect your personal information
    • Mix medications with undesirable substances, such as dirt or used coffee grounds
    • Place mixture in a sealed container, such as an empty margarine tub

    We’ll complete a targeted medication review (TMR) at least once every three months. After each review, we may send suggestions to your doctor about prescriptions that may be a safer or  better alternative. As always, your doctor will decide whether to consider our suggestions. Your prescriptions won’t change unless you and your doctor decide to change them.

     

    MTM programs are not considered benefits.
