What are the recommended procedures for disposing of unused or expired ranitidine to minimize environmental and health risks?
1. Take unused or expired ranitidine to a pharmacy participating in a drug take-back program for safe disposal.
2. If no take-back program is available, mix ranitidine with undesirable substances like coffee grounds, seal in a plastic bag, and dispose in the trash.
3. Do not flush ranitidine down the toilet or sink as it may harm the environment; instead, use local household hazardous waste facilities.
