 In another private sector effort to limit the availability of prescription opioids in the U.S., Walmart is introducing a new, free program for people who fill opioid prescriptions to help them dispose of unused pills safely at home. 
  
 At all of its pharmacies, Walmart announced it will give out packets of DisposeRx that people can use to chemically treat unused pills so they can throw them away at home instead of taking them to a pill-takeback program. Anyone filling a new class II opioid prescription (such as oxycodone) will get a free packet, and people with a prescription for chronic pain will get a new packet every 6 months. 
  
 "We have an important role to play as an entry point to healthcare," Marybeth Hays, executive vice president of Consumables and Health and Wellness at Walmart U.S. said on a call with reporters. "We hope this new initiative is one step forward in helping to curb opioid prescription abuse and misuse." 
  
 About 53 percent of people who misused prescription opioids got them from family or friends, according to the 2016 National Survey on Drug Use and Health from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. 
  
 CVS expanded its prescription drug takeback program to 750 of its pharmacies in the U.S. last September and through its pharmacy benefit manager CVS Caremark limits the amount of opioids dispensed for some prescriptions. Walmart does not have a takeback program but does sell a pouch that people can use to deactivate unused pills. (Online, a pack of three small Dexterra pouches that deactivate 15 pills each sell for $14.99.) 
  
 DisposeRx packets have been on the market in the U.S. for six months and are being used in hospitals, the company's chairman, co-founder and CEO John Holaday said on the press call. The packets contain a powder that when added to a pill bottle with tap water and shaken form a biodegradable gel that can be thrown away in the trash. ||||| Walmart is offering a first-of-its kind opioid disposal product for free at all of its pharmacies, according to a company statement.

 The product, called DisposeRX, enables patients to responsibly dispose of leftover medications by turning them into a useless gel. A DisposeRX packet is used by emptying it into a pill bottle with warm water to create the biodegradable gel, according to a statement from Walmart. The solution solidifies, and can be tossed out, making them inaccessible for illicit use. 
  
 "DisposeRx provides a virtually effortless way for patients to destroy leftover opioids and a way to do so without ever leaving home," said Walmart in a statement.

 Beginning immediately, patients filling any new Class II opioid prescriptions, such as oxycodone and methadone, at Walmart pharmacies will receive a free DisposeRx packet and opioid safety information brochure when picking up their prescription. 
  
 “About one-third of medications sold go unused. Too often, these dangerous narcotics remain unsecured where children, teens or visitors may have access." said Sen. John Boozman, R-Ark. 
  
 The product will be available at all 4,700 Walmart pharmacies. The chemicals in DisposeRx are listed as safe by the FDA, according to Walmart. 
  
 In 2016, 46 people died every day in the United States from prescription opioid overdose, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). ||||| This will appear next to all of your comments

Output:
Walmart is helping customers get rid of leftover opioids by giving them packets that turn the addictive painkillers into a useless gel. The retail giant announced Wednesday that it will provide the packets free with opioid prescriptions filled at its 4,700 US pharmacies. The small packets, made by DisposeRx and described by ABC News as a "first-of-its-kind" product, contain a powder that's poured into prescription bottles. When mixed with warm water, the powder turns the pills into a biodegradable gel that can be thrown in the trash, reports the AP. ABC News says the gel ultimately solidifies and describes the end result as "inaccessible for illicit use." Research has shown that surgery patients often end up with leftover opioid painkillers and store the drugs improperly at home. Forbes cites a 2016 government survey that found 53% of people who abuse opioids get pills from relatives or friends. Walmart says the powder also works with other prescription drugs. The company says its pharmacy customers can request a free packet at any time. (Read about how a doctor prescribed this former journalist Percocet—and how it was all downhill from there.)
