Store Fluoxetine HCL 10mg capsules at room temperature, between 68°F and 77°F (20°C and 25°C). Protect them from moisture and light.
Proper disposal is crucial. Follow these steps:
Ask your pharmacist about local drug take-back programs. Many pharmacies offer safe and convenient disposal options. If a take-back program isn’t readily available, mix the capsules with an undesirable substance like used coffee grounds or kitty litter. This makes them less appealing to children or pets. Seal the mixture in a tightly closed, opaque container (like a sealed plastic bag). Dispose of the container in your household trash. Always follow all local regulations for proper medication disposal.
Never flush medications down the toilet unless specifically instructed to do so by your doctor or pharmacist.
- Check the expiration date on your medication. Dispose of expired capsules following the steps above. Keep medication out of reach of children and pets.
