National Prescription Drug Toss - Saturday, October 26, 2013

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has designated Saturday, October 26, 2013, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. as a drug take-back day.

The National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day aims to provide a safe, convenient, and responsible means of disposing of unnecessary prescription drugs, while also educating the general public about the potential for medication abuse.

According to a recent report by the Trust for America's Health, Kentucky has the third-highest rate of fatal overdoses. The majority of these deaths are from prescription medications.

There are currently more than 70 prescription drug collection sites in Kentucky that will be open on Saturday, October 26th, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. for drug tossing. Please refer to the following link for additional information or to locate a collection site near you.

www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/drug_disposal/takeback/index.html

We hope Kentuckians will participate in this event and help rid Kentucky of the potential harm from unnecessary prescription drugs.

Attention Kentucky Medicaid Members: New Warnings about the use of Acetamenophen (Tylenol)

On August 1, 2013, the Food and Drug Administration issued a warning that acetaminophen (Tylenol) products may cause serious skin reactions.

If you have a skin reaction and you are taking acetaminophen (Tylenol), stop taking the medicine immediately and call your doctor.
Additionally, to help prevent the potential for serious liver disease, members are encouraged to keep their daily dose of acetaminophen (Tylenol) to no more than 3,000 mg per day.
