The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has launched a new education campaign to help Americans understand the important role they play in removing and properly disposing of unused prescription opioids from their homes. The Remove the Risk campaign is part of the FDA’s continued efforts to address the nationwide opioid crisis and aims to help decrease unnecessary exposure to opioids and prevent new addiction. The campaign focuses on reaching women ages 35-64, who are most likely to oversee household health care decisions and often serve as the gatekeepers to opioids and other prescription medications in the home. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration is also conducting the National Prescription Drug Takeback Day on Saturday; to find a site, click here.
