[Pharmwaste] Take back presentation - overprescribing

[Jeff Hollar]

Interesting.  Thanks for sharing.  Overprescribing is a problem.  Regarding
Car #188 - Was this actually from an consumer or ultimate user?  I've heard
of instances where businesses (DEA Registrants) were utilizing the consumer
take back programs as a free disposal resource.

Hello All, 

 

I gave a presentation last week at the National Association of State
Controlled Substances Authorities Conference in Savannah.  I presented some
of the data that our program has collected over the last 5 years specific to
controls.  I am working on a manuscript with a group from Maine at current,
but wanted to share with this group in case you are interested.  I believe
the info in the charts within this PowerPoint are a strong indicator of the
prevalence of over-prescribing; particularly of controlled substances.
