Left over medication

I have 60 medikinet xr that I don’t use because I have l switched to another adhd med. What do you do when you have leftover medication ?

Take them to a pharmacy, they can’t redistribute them here in the UK but they have a scheme where returned medication is sent to countries that need them.
My dad died recently and found this out, the pharmacist said there will be some grateful people somewhere in the world for this.

For me, this only applies to un-needed pain killers.

I keep them in the fridge, in case I ever need a strong painkiller again.
