Flush expired, unused opioids down the toilet, says regulator

Drug regulatory authority mandates disposal of unused opioid drugs and painkillers. This action aims to prevent misuse and health risks. Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation has listed 17 harmful medicines for disposal. Some drugs should be flushed, while others can be collected through 'drug take back' programs. Unscientific disposal causes environmental pollution and drug resistance.
