Of course if you're taking any sort of medication (or any of your visitors does), that will also generally end up in the compost. What this means for your garden is left as exercise for the reader.

It would be a completely useless medication that goes straight through your system... It can't DO anything for you that way.
Instead, it's usually just trace quantities of the drug, and sometimes some interesting byproducts after your body metabolizes it.

It comes with detailed paperwork you have to acknowledge before you can get the stuff. I don't expect they'll forget to mention it, when you show them to your (obviously) composting toilet.
