[Pharmwaste] Donation of unused medications

[Jaramillo, Jeanie]

Does anyone have a good resource for information on the donation of
unused medicines or information that basically prohibits this?  I have a
pharmacist who supplies meds to long term care facilities in blister
packs and is interested in donating unused portions.  Also, having
recently conducted a take-back program, we collected numerous items from
the public that were still factory-sealed.  Thank you.
