Never flush Betnovate down the toilet or throw it in the trash. These methods can contaminate the environment.
Instead, mix the remaining cream with an undesirable substance, like used coffee grounds or kitty litter. This makes it less appealing for accidental ingestion.
Seal the mixture tightly in a non-recyclable container, like an empty plastic bottle or a sealed bag.
Dispose of the container in your household trash. Check with your local council or pharmacy for specific guidelines on hazardous waste disposal in your area, as regulations can vary.
Always keep medicines out of reach of children and pets.
If you have a large quantity of unused Betnovate, contact your pharmacy for advice on safe disposal. They may have a take-back program.
