[Pharmwaste] ONDCP Comment Letter

[gressitt]

Bear in mind as well that the list that is currently on the ONDCP web site
is not complete, and two pharmacist orgs are doing a thorough Package Insert
review to determine what the list really is. Pharmacist's Letter published a
list of about 30 as I recall In April. Stevan Gressitt, M.D. 207-441-0291

The pharmwaste list might also be interested in the letter sent to ONDCP
from the National Association of Clean Water Agencies, which represents
municipal wastewater treatment agencies across the country and which,
similar to Palo Alto, was not happy about any suggestion that it is O.K. to
flush unused meds.  - Dave Galvin, Local Hazardous Waste Management Program

Hello everyone-

 

I wanted to let all of you know that Office of National Drug Control Policy
responded to our comment letter regarding the Federal Guidelines for the
Proper Disposal of Pharmaceutical Waste.  There is nothing new in the letter
but I thought that I would share the response letter with you.  For your
convenience I have attached our letter that we sent to ONDCP as well as
their response.  Also I am not sure if you are aware ONDCP now has a video
clip on how to dispose of your unwanted pharmaceutical waste see
http://www.whitehousedrugpolicy.gov/drugfact/factsht/proper_disposal.html

 

Feel free to contact me if you require further information.


Regards,

Karin D. North
