Descarte de medicamentos

Incorrect disposal of medicines, such as throwing them in the trash or down the toilet, can cause serious damage to the environment, contaminating soil and water and affecting entire ecosystems. Chemical substances present in medicines can infiltrate groundwater and reach rivers and seas, impacting aquatic fauna and, eventually, returning to us through the water we consume or contaminated food. Therefore, correct disposal at specific collection points is essential to protect nature and our own health.
