Commitment – Stewardship

As an additional safety measure, Walmart offers an at-home opioid disposal product, DisposeRx, at no cost in all pharmacies nationwide. Patients filling any new opioid prescription at Walmart receive a free DisposeRx packet, and patients with chronic prescriptions are offered a free packet every six months. Existing Walmart pharmacy patients can also receive a free DisposeRx packet at any time on request.


A significant number of individuals who misuse prescription drugs initially obtained the drugs from a friend or family member. Walmart is providing the community a medication disposal receptacle as a convenient, secure method for pharmaceutical disposal. As part of Project Safe-RX, Medication Disposal Receptacles are available at select pharmacy/club locations to dispose of any unneeded or unwanted pharmaceuticals from your home.


Walmart and Sam’s Club pharmacists also have access to and use the controlled substance tracking tool NarxCare/LogiCoy in states that allow access. Our pharmacists are trained to check for indicators of potential concern before filling each prescription. NarxCare/LogiCoy, along with other tools, helps our pharmacists make better dispensing decisions.
