Find a pharmacy.
Many pharmacies are open until late and at weekends. You do not need an appointment.
Most pharmacies have a private room. This means you can discuss issues with pharmacy staff without being overheard.
What to do with old medicines
Take it back to the pharmacy you got it from. Do not put it in your household bin or flush it down the toilet.
