Help the NHS reduce medicine waste

Your Meds Matter – Only Order What You Need

Did you know around £9.6 million is wasted every year in Gwent on unused or unnecessary repeat prescriptions? That’s money, medicines, and care going to waste and we need your help to change that.

Staying Well: Medicines can expire and may not work as they should. Stockpiling can lead to drug shortages, putting others at risk.

Staying Safe: Unused meds at home are a danger to children and pets. They’re prescribed just for you, never share them.

Staying Green: Once medicines leave the pharmacy, they can’t be reused. Hand unused meds back to your pharmacy and help protect our environment

Here’s how you can help:

✅ Check what you already have before ordering more.
✅ Open your prescription bag at the pharmacy and return anything you don’t need before leaving.
✅ Talk to your pharmacy team if your meds have changed or you're not taking something anymore.
Together, we can cut waste, protect our environment, and keep Gwent healthy.
👉 Only order what you need.

Mae eich Meddyginiaeth yn Bwysig - Archebwch yr hyn sydd ei angen arnoch yn unig
Oeddech chi’n gwybod bod tua £9.6 miliwn yn cael ei wastraffu bob blwyddyn yng Ngwent ar bresgripsiynau nad ydynt yn cael eu defnyddio neu bresgripsiynau nad oes eu hangen. Dyna a***n, meddyginiaethau, a gofal yn mynd i wastraff ac mae angen eich help arnom i newid hynny.
Aros yn Iach: Gall meddyginiaethau ddod i ben ac efallai na fyddant yn gweithio fel y dylent. Gall pentyrru stoc arwain at brinder cyffuriau, gan roi eraill mewn perygl.
Cadw'n Ddiogel: Mae meddyginiaethau heb eu defnyddio gartref yn peri perygl i blant ac anifeiliaid anwes. Maen nhw'n cael eu presgripsiynu ar eich cyfer chi yn unig, peidiwch byth â'u rhannu.
Aros yn wyrdd: Unwaith y bydd meddyginiaethau yn gadael y fferyllfa, ni ellir eu hailddefnyddio. Ewch â meddyginiaethau sydd heb eu defnyddio yn ôl i'ch fferyllfa er mwyn helpu i ddiogelu ein hamgylchedd
Dyma sut y gallwch chi helpu:
✅ Gwiriwch yr hyn sydd gennych eisoes cyn archebu mwy.
✅ Agorwch eich bag presgripsiwn yn y fferyllfa a dychwelyd unrhyw beth nad oes ei angen arnoch cyn gadael.
✅ Siaradwch â'ch tîm fferylliaeth os yw'ch meddyginiaethau wedi newid neu os nad ydych chi'n cymryd rhywbeth mwyach.
Gyda'n gilydd, gallwn leihau gwastraff, diogelu ein hamgylchedd, a chadw Gwent yn iach.
Archebwch yr hyn sydd ei angen arnoch yn unig
