Spring is the season of renewal and that includes your medicine cabinet. At Epsom Pharmacy Online - Your local, run by locals, we encourage our community to take a few minutes this season to review, refresh, and responsibly dispose of outdated or unused medications. It’s a simple step that can make a big difference for your health and safety.

Why you should spring clean your medicine cabinet

Over time, medications can expire, lose potency, or become unsafe to use. Holding onto old prescriptions or expired over-the-counter products can lead to accidental misuse, ineffective treatment, or even harmful interactions.

Key reasons to clean out your cabinet this spring:

  • Prevent accidental ingestion of expired or unsafe medicines.
  • Reduce clutter and confusion when you need quick access to health essentials.
  • Protect children and pets from exposure to outdated medications.
  • Support environmental safety by disposing of medicines properly.

How to safely dispose of medications

Never flush medications or throw them in the bin. Epsom Pharmacy Online - Your local, run by locals offers a free and secure medicine disposal service to help you get rid of unwanted items responsibly. Simply bring your expired or unused medications to our pharmacy, and we’ll take care of the rest.

What to restock this spring

Once your cabinet is cleared, it’s time to restock with seasonal essentials. Our pharmacists recommend:

  • Allergy relief: Antihistamines, nasal sprays, and eye drops.
  • First aid kits: Updated with bandages, antiseptics, and pain relief.
  • Immune support: Vitamin C, zinc, and probiotics.
  • Sun protection: SPF creams and lip balms for outdoor activities.

Ask our team about current spring promotions on supplements, first aid kits, and wellness products.
