One key problem in the opioid crisis is how to keep leftover prescriptions from falling into the wrong hands, and being abused.
Walmart is now offering a free product at all of its pharmacies, to help prevent that.
Dispose-RX comes in a small packet.
Just put warm water into unwanted medications, then add Dispose-RX and shake.
It turns the drugs into a useless, but bio-degradable gel, which can be tossed out.
The medication can't be used.
Anyone filling a new opioid prescription at Walmart will get Dispose-RX and instructions.
About a third of medications sold go unused.
