Uyisusa kanjani futhi nini imithi engasetshenziswanga

Abantu abaningi basebenzise imithi kadokotela engasetshenzisiwe noma ephelelwe yisikhathi emakhaya noma emithini. Funda ukuthi kufanele ulahle nini imithi engasetshenziswanga nokuthi ungayilahla kanjani ngokuphepha.

Kufanele ulahle umuthi lapho:

• Umhlinzeki wakho wezokunakekelwa kwempilo ushintsha imishanguzo kadokotela kodwa usenemithi ethile esele
• Uzizwa ungcono futhi umhlinzeki wakho uthi kufanele uyeke ukuthatha umuthi
• Unemithi ye-OTC ongasayidingi
• Unemithi edlulile esikhathini sokuphelelwa yisikhathi

Ungathathi imithi ephelelwe yisikhathi. Kungenzeka zingasebenzi kahle noma izithako zomuthi kungenzeka zishintshile. Lokhu kungazenza zingaphephi ukusetshenziswa.

Funda amalebula njalo ukubheka usuku lokuphelelwa yisikhathi komuthi. Lahla noma yikuphi okuphelelwe yisikhathi nalezo ongasazidingi.

Ukugcina imithi ephelelwe yisikhathi noma engafuneki kungakhuphula ubungozi boku:

• Ukuthatha umuthi ongafanele ngenxa yokuxuba
• Ubuthi obuyingozi ezinganeni noma ezifuyweni
• Ukweqisa ngokweqile
• Ukusetshenziswa kabi noma ukuhlukunyezwa ngokungemthetho

Ukulahla imithi kuvikela abanye ukuthi bangayisebenzisi ngengozi noma ngenhloso. Futhi kuvimbela izinsalela eziyingozi ukuba zingene emvelweni.

Bheka imiyalo yokulahla kwilebula noma incwajana yolwazi.

UNGAYISHAYI IMITHI NGOKUNGASETSHENZISWA

Akufanele ukhiphe imishanguzo eminingi noma uyithululele edreyini. Imithi iqukethe amakhemikhali angahle angabhidliki emvelweni. Lapho zifakwa ethoyilethi noma echibini, lezi zinsalela zingangcolisa imithombo yethu yamanzi. Lokhu kungathinta izinhlanzi nokunye ukuphila kwasolwandle. Lezi zinsalela zingagcina nasemanzini ethu okuphuza.

Kodwa-ke, eminye imithi kufanele ilahlwe ngokushesha okukhulu ukunciphisa ingozi engaba khona. Ungabageza ukuze uvimbele umuntu ukuthi angazisebenzisi. Lokhu kufaka ama-opioid noma ama-narcotic ajwayele ukubekelwa izinhlungu. Kufanele ukhiphe imithi kuphela uma isho njalo kwilebula.

IZINHLELO ZOKUBUYELA IZIDAKAMIZWA

Indlela engcono kakhulu yokulahla imithi yakho ukuyiletha ezinhlelweni zokubuyisa izidakamizwa. Lezi zinhlelo zilahla ngokuphepha imithi ngokuyishisa.

Izinhlelo zokubuyisa izidakamizwa zihlelwe emiphakathini eminingi. Kungaba namabhokisi okulahla okokulahla imithi noma idolobha lakho lingaba nezinsuku ezikhethekile lapho ungaletha izinto zasendlini eziyingozi njengemithi engasetshenziswanga endaweni ethile ozoyilahla. Xhumana nodoti wakho wasendaweni kanye nensizakalo yokuphinda usebenzise kabusha ukuthola ukuthi ungayilahla kuphi imithi noma uma umcimbi olandelayo uhlelelwe umphakathi wakho. Ungahlola iwebhusayithi ye-US Drug Enforcing Agency ukuthola imininingwane yokubuyisa izidakamizwa: www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/drug_disposal/takeback/index.html.

Hlola ngohlelo lokubuyisa ukuthi yiziphi izinhlobo zemithi ezingazamukeli.

UKUCHITHWA KWEZINDLU

Uma ungenalo uhlelo lokubuyisela emuva olutholakalayo, ungaphonsa imithi yakho ngaphandle ngodoti wakho wasekhaya. Ukwenza kanjalo ngokuphepha:

• Khipha umuthi esitsheni sawo uwahlanganise nomunye udoti ongathandeki njengodoti wekati noma izizathu zekhofi ezisetshenzisiwe. Musa ukuchoboza amaphilisi noma amaphilisi.
• Beka inhlanganisela esikhwameni sepulasitiki esivalekekayo noma iziqukathi ezivaliwe ezingeke zivuze futhi zilahle kudoti.
• Qiniseka ukuthi ususa inombolo yakho ye-Rx nayo yonke imininingwane yakho ebhodleleni lomuthi. Yisuse noma uyimboze ngomaka unomphela noma nge-tape tape.
• Phonsa isitsha namabhodlela amaphilisi ngaphandle kwawo wonke udoti wakho. Noma, geza amabhodlela kahle bese uphinde uwasebenzise ngezikulufo, izinzipho, noma ezinye izinto zasendlini.

Shayela umhlinzeki wakho uma:

• Othile usebenzisa imishanguzo ephelelwe yisikhathi ngephutha noma ngenhloso
• Unokuphendula okweqile kumuthi
