SHARING CALL:

DEA Disposal Regulations

November 17, 2015 | 2:00 PM EST


On September 8, 2014, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) made available for public view a final rule regarding the disposal of pharmaceutical controlled substances in accordance with the Controlled Substance Act, as amended by the Secure and Responsible Drug Disposal Act of 2010 (“Disposal Act”).

The Disposal Act was passed in an effort to curtail prescription drug abuse by authorizing regulations that outline methods for disposal of unused or unwanted pharmaceutical controlled substances. The regulations implementing the Secure and Responsible Drug Disposal Act became effective in October 2014.

In this Sharing Call, we will:

 *   Explore the DEA Disposal Regulations.
 *   Explain what controlled substance inventory consists of.
 *   Understand pharmaceutical what pharmaceutical waste is.
 *   Define the state of non-retrievable controlled substances.
