Those medications could affect the environment and endanger public health. https://www.neorsd.org/community/educational-resources/tips-why-you-shouldnt-flush-your-meds-and-what-to-do-instead/#:~:text=Don't%20flush%20them.&text=Flushing%20pills%20down%20the%20toilet,environment%20and%20endanger%20public%20health.
