BISMARCK, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – Saturday, April 28th is national prescription drug “Take Back Day.” Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem reminds North Dakota residents that they can safely dispose of unused prescription and over the counter medications using the state’s year-round Take Back and MedSafe programs.

The Attorney General’s office has partnered with the North Dakota Board of Pharmacy to expand the Take Back program to support the Board’s MedSafe program, which puts secure disposal containers at the pharmacy counter in participating pharmacies.

A list of the North Dakota Take Back and MedSafe drug disposal sites is available on the Attorney General’s Take Back program page, www.takeback.nd.gov.
