[Pharmwaste] Any laws to address medical samples proper disposal by sales reps?

[Heidi Sanborn]

Dear Pharma Listserv:

I was in a meeting yesterday where the lobbyists for Norvo Nordisk and Bay Bio were stating that the DEA wasn't having any more med collections because 40% of what they were collecting was not targeted product and they were told it was medical samples.  I asked for names or anything in writing and didn't get them.


1)      Has anyone confirmed that 40% of what comes in DEA events was medical samples or could you disprove that statement?

2)      Does anyone know of any local, state or federal law that requires management of medical samples outside of public medicine bin programs?

Thanks for your help!

Heidi
