[Pharmwaste] Standardized classifications for pharmaceuticals collected

[Jaramillo, Jeanie]

Maureen,

We are moving away from using DAWN and toward using Micromedex.  The upside is that Micromedex is updated daily and provides generic classification and product specific classification; the downside is it requires a subscription.

Subject: [Pharmwaste] Standardized classifications for pharmaceuticals collected

What database(s) are being routinely used to categorize the pharmaceuticals collected at drug disposal events for reporting purposes?   I am aware that some are using the DAWN classification, but what others?  Are you relying those of your own creation?
