Can you email me this "so-called" list/guidance? I would like to have a
copy for an upcoming presentation to CT Pharmacists on the disposal of
drugs.
I'm not aware of anyone but FDA who generated such a list (in the past).
This is the 3rd time I tried to call up the document embedded in this
thread to no avail. I get a corrupt error message every time.
Lemme no. Mark

Based on a conversation I had with Dr. Steven Gressit. The list was
originally provided by the manufacturers.
Since I work for a wastewater treatment plant we do not want anything
flushed down the toilet. If you give people a list, they will
automatically flush everything. I think we need to send multiple
letters of concern to FDA regarding their disposal recommendations.
City of Palo Alto has already sent a letter to ONDCP, now we plan on
writing a letter to FDA as well. Palo Alto also plans on sending a
letter to EPA with the hope that EPA may help convince ONDCP and FDA to
modify their guidelines.
Best,

I am concerned that an antibiotic like gatifloxacin is on the list of
flushables. Does anyone know of a way to learn the logic behind the
guideline decisions?
