[Pharmwaste] RE: Pharma re-distribution pilot program

[gressitt]

Allen, I agree this is a very helpful document.  And it sure begs for one
other little tiny column..a state contact person for each of those states
that could keep up to date with changes and be a contact for the rest of us
with questions regarding the state of activities in that state. Just a
thought.

I believe DEA is still trying to encourage folks to shy from activities that
could lead to diversion, and seems more positive about getting some models
that can be replicated, without their having the funds to support those
pilots. 

 

When we passed the legislation in Maine, CESAR at the University of Maryland
did a compilation of all laws across the country that dealt with unsed drugs
and last I looked it was sstill up. It was originally printed with actual
copies of the entire law and it was massive, it was more readily useable
when they put it on the web. 

 

Planning is almost wrapped up for the 3rd Annual Unused Drug Disposal
Conference slated for Portland Maine October 23-24, hold the dates, more to
follow shortly.

a big thanx goes out to Doug Englebert and Dave Parsons for sharing this
info (attached) with some of the bills including cancer-related drugs
exchange/distribution.  

 

wonder what epa, the usgs and the dea are doing now?  Dr. Gressitt?  you
keeping up with them on the "hill"?  looks like most of the states are
trying to take this issue on their own, in some fashion. 

 

doug's "project's" similar to what john reindl's doing on the merc listserve
for Hg legislation around the country.  quite the coincidence, they're all
from wisconsin.  way to go "bucky badgers"!  below is the excerpt from doug
to dave: 

*********************Dave,

Attached is something that I keep a passing review of....its a list of
legislation occurring in all 50 states related to Donation Programs. 

The other place that may have something is the Government Affairs Department
of the National Chapter of the American Cancer Society....

Doug Englebert, R.Ph.

Pharmacy Practice Consultant

Provider Regulation and Quality Improvement Section

***************************************

and, again apologizies for not including our own state's code number for our
legislative search box below....

and, if you're in the neighborhood next wednesday, please stop by for our
last H2E seminar starring Charlotte Smith!

half a good weekend,

is this state's (arkansas) attempt at keeping some of un-used
pharmaceuticals directly out of the environment and be used for a good
cause.  our dept. of health contact said the program is getting poor
participation.  and, as a pilot program, it may be sunset in '07.

 

Ms. DeBiasi and this office have been conversing about the various states'
actions regarding this issue.  does anyone have a compendium of states'
legislation regarding such programs?  we've googled some from maine,
virginia, oklahoma and a couple others but, again, does a repository exist?
