How to recycle medicines and packaging properly:

» All unused or expired medicines and their packaging must be taken to the Punto SIGRE of the pharmacy.

Any packaging that has been in contact with the medicine (bottles, blisters, tubes, aerosols, ampoules, etc.), even if empty, must be treated in a specific way, which is why it has to be deposited in the Punto SIGRE.

To enable the different kinds types of medicines and the packaging that contained them to be identified and treated correctly, they must be taken to the Punto SIGRE inside their original cardboard box.
