Returning your unwanted medicines to VSM Pharmacy
We’re happy to take unwanted medicine off your hands. For safety’s sake, though, please make sure you’re only returning medicine, and there’s nothing else in the bag. If there are needles among the things you’re returning, for example, our staff might be injured.
