Well, most all of my pills are prescriptions, and there is no throwing them away unless they fall down the drain. Then you end out of medication before the end of thirty days.
Do you pick it up and rinse it, or do you throw it away?
Well first my wife usually has to say "leave it" to our dog who dive bombs at anything that gets dropped but hits the brakes if "leave it" is said. She has prescription stuff so she has to take it. But we invoke the 5 second rule which automatically makes it ok to ingest the item.

I pick it up, wipe off any dog hairs, etc. Then take it. I don't rinse as it would start to decompose.
And if I can't find it, I will search until I do. I don't want my dogs to get it, especially something like blood pressure medicine. I imagine what we take (for a large human) would be an overdose for a small dog.
I've also always picked up dropped food and eaten it. I'm getting older and am still around after a lifetime of doing that! (Exposure to "germs" will build up your immunity.)
P.S. I DON'T watch TV, so I have not been brainwashed with this latest "germ phobia" nonsense. I wonder which large companies benefit financially from people being afraid of germs - wiping off shopping cart handles - constantly using anti bacterial goop on their hands, etc.?
This question makes me wonder how dirty are your floors that this is even a concern.?
I've noticed, that the people who would never pick something up off the floor and eat it, have SPOTLESSLY clean floors!
