Did you know that approximately 60,000 emergency department visits annually result from children under 6 finding and ingesting medication?
Too often, unused prescription drugs find their way into the wrong hands. That's dangerous and often tragic. According to the 2017 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 6 million Americans misused controlled prescription drugs. The study shows that a majority of abused prescription drugs were obtained from family and friends, often from the home medicine cabinet.
