[Pharmwaste] RE: Pharmwaste Digest, Vol 111, Issue 1

[Gilliam, Allen]

So the general public would not realize they’re paying for perhaps 25% of the (almost prohibitively) expensive drug they’ve been prescribed; the rest being wasted to the environment?  Sumpthin just doesn’t pass the smell test on this scenario.

You do not need to have your urine tested you can just read the drug insert,that pice  of paper that comes with your prescription with all the fine print. It will tell you how much passes in the urine and feces and how quickly. This is all information from the FDA.
A patient on a chemotherapy drug called cyclophosphamide will urinate 1000 ppm in 24 hours, enough to kill a child nevermind the fact it is a US Epa hazardous waste and a known carcinogen as well as known to cause birtdefects.
Not all drugs are hazardous to  humans in small quantities but the ones that are need to be controlled such as cytotoxic chemotherapy drugs.
Pee in a cup for two days after treatment if you are on chemo as recommended by the World Health Organization. Check out www.cytotoxicsafety.org<http://www.cytotoxicsafety.org>

As a  person with Type II diabetes, I am prescribed by the VA with 2 x 1000
mg tablets of Metformin per day.  Maybe I will get my urine tested to see
what passes thru?
