The Deterra® Drug Deactivation and Disposal System is a safe medication disposal pouch or container that can be used at home or in a clinical setting. It is the safest, most effective choice used to destroy and properly dispose of unused, unwanted and expired medications with the simple addition of tap water.
Deterra is on a mission to reduce drug misuse and negative environmental impact and is the only product available today that is scientifically proven to destroy prescription and over-the-counter medicine. Deterra helps prevent diversion, misuse and environmental harm because the proprietary activated carbon used renders drugs inert and non-retrievable for all practical purposes. Its plant-based packaging and non-toxic ingredients prevent harmful chemicals from entering our landfills and water supplies, making the world safer for everyone.
Deterra was developed under a federal contract awarded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and backed by notable drug misuse prevention organizations and Hospital Systems including the DEA Educational Foundation, Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America (CADCA), Mayo Clinic, National Association of Counties (NACo) and County Executives of America (CEA), Deterra gives people peace of mind that unwanted medications are gone - for good.
