How to properly store and dispose of apixaban
June 3, 2023 by Maxwell Harrington
As a responsible user of apixaban, it's crucial to properly store and dispose of it. To ensure the medication remains effective, I always store it at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight. When the time comes to get rid of expired or unused apixaban, I never flush it down the toilet or throw it in the trash. Instead, I participate in a local drug take-back program or follow proper disposal instructions provided by my pharmacist. By doing so, I not only protect the environment, but also avoid potential misuse or accidental ingestion by others.
