*This article mentions medication take-back programs as an alternative to flushing unused medications. In some cases, such as when these medications are no longer needed but cannot be disposed of through a take-back program, the FDA still recommends flushing certain medications that can be especially dangerous if taken by anyone else (such as others in your household).

Correction Notice: When this edition was published, it mistakenly said that an employer cannot ask a prospective employee if she is or intends to become pregnant. In fact "Federal law does not prohibit employers from asking you whether you are or intend to become pregnant. However, because such questions may indicate a possible intent to discriminate based on pregnancy, we recommend that employers avoid these types of questions." (From the EEOC website)
