What is MedDrop?
MedDrop
is a free, easy, drive-thru drop off. You won’t be asked
to provide your name.
Please keep your unused or expired medication in the
original container.
If you want, you can cross off your name and address,
but please do NOT cover up the name of the medication.
All medications and their containers will be destroyed
at the end of the event and will be properly handled to
ensure patient confidentiality.
You will drive through the drop off area and give
medications to volunteer pharmacists, pharmacy students
and hazardous waste experts.
You will be asked a few short questions:
- What is your zip code?
- How did you learn about this event?
- What would you have done with these products if this
event had not taken place?
- Was this location convenient and would you come back
again?

We'll Help You Keep Track of Your Medicines
Keeping track of your medicines, and taking them
correctly, is very important for your health. Everyone
who comes to MedDrop will receive a free brochure from
the
Madison Patient Safety Collaborative
titled
Medication Safety for You. The brochure includes
a tear-out wallet card so that you can list and keep
track of all of your medications. Take the wallet card
along on visits to all healthcare facilities, including
the hospital, clinic and pharmacy.
