ABSTRACT:
A method for the exclusive and singular treatment of all pharmaceuticals and drugs in any form that have passed their effective date, or are no longer of use to the individual, by mixing the pharmaceuticals and drugs with a granular solidification agent and water to form a non hazardous slurry which will solidify the liquefied pharmaceuticals and drugs into a non hazardous, environmentally friendly mixture safe for disposal into normal solid trash receptacles and landfills, and no longer a potential legal risk from ingestion after depositing into trash system. In this treatment the additional potential health risk and legal liability is eliminated from drugs and pharmaceuticals going into toilets and drains to sanitary sewers or septic tanks, and becoming liquid and untreatable at municipal wastewater treatment plants or septic fields, thereby returning to fresh water resources causing a risk to the general public health.
