Medication and sharps return and disposal

Medication and sharps return and disposal

This resource has been developed by PICS, Victoria’s Paediatric Integrated Cancer Service.

The leaflet below contains information for parents and carers of children being treated for cancer, on the return and disposal of unused and/or unwanted medications – plus syringes, needles, and other equipment.

This leaflet should be used in conjunction with the complete consumer medicine information (CMI), which is available from any pharmacy.
