In this episode of Pharmacy Q+A, PANS' Martha Lowe and Greg Richard, Pharmacist and Chair of the PANS Pharmacy Practice Committee, talk about practical medication safety steps every household can take — from understanding opioids and recognizing signs of an opioid poisoning to keeping naloxone on hand and safely storing, returning, and disposing of unused or expired medications and sharps. With International Overdose Awareness Day coming up on August 31, this conversation is a timely reminder that small actions at home can help prevent harm, protect loved ones, and support safer communities across Nova Scotia. Greg also answers questions from our listeners: "Is it ok to mix alcohol and allergy meds?" and "How do I remember to take my medicine?"
