Question

• A. By Autoclaving
• B. By Drainage
• C. By Landfilling
• D. In the same way as general waste

Hint:

Expired medicines? Always dispose of them safely — landfilling is the right method.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Pharmaceutical waste includes expired, unused, and contaminated drugs.
Autoclaving is used for sterilizing infectious waste, but not suitable for pharmaceuticals.
Draining can pollute water sources and is not safe for drug disposal.
These wastes are disposed of in secured landfills to prevent contamination.
They should not be mixed with general waste because of potential health and environmental risks.
Therefore, the correct answer is By Landfilling.
