[Pharmwaste] mail order prescription waste

[Volkman, Jennifer]

Why thank you all for this string.  I don't know why I didn't think of
it before.  I am going to box up my left-overs and mail them back to the
pharm company.  what if we all just add that to our fact sheets for
awhile....
 
oh, drat, I suppose they'll just flush them...what if it was like a big
ol' moving box full..maybe they'd have to do something more with it...

	What a brilliant idea!  Unfortunately, not everybody understands
or believe in stewardship or the precautionary principle.

	Hi ya'll,

	 

	Why can't we lobby the insurance companies to take care of
(destroy) the waste drugs?  They are the ones with the formularies and
their preffered drug lists that cause all this drug waste to begin with.
The patient jumps through all their hoops, tries all their ineffectual
drugs that they want to pay for and in the end the patient has a
cupboard of unused drugs.  Let the insurance companies provide a return
mail voucher and let them be responsible for destroying the drugs! Let
them take responsibility for their ideas of "affordable and effectual
drug regimens."  And it just doesn't have to be mail order drug
companies either this goes for everyone Medicaid, Medicare, Medicare
Part D, Private Pays everyone. They can send them to the drug companies
that pay them and the originators can destroy their own product.  You
can't tell me that these drug companies don't have incinerators for
their waste.
