Lock Your Meds
​67% of people who misuse prescription medications get them from family and friends. They think these medications are safe. But in the wrong hands, they’re not.

To prevent prescription medication overdose:

• Count and properly secure your medications
• Dispose of all medications responsibly
• Spread the word in your community​
