However, there are some medicines that are safe for rinsing. According to the FDA “Flush List”, there are several opioid drugs that are safe for rinsing, including Vicodin, Oxycontin and Percocet. However, the FDA warns that drugs that do not appear on his rinse list should not be flushed toward the toilet.
