<br>
A consumer mail back is a great idea. In fact, I would encourage consumers
to "just do it" (to borrow Nike's slogan). If enough consumers
mailed their un-used controlled substances back, without a return address,
pressure would be brought to bear by the manufacturers for government to do
something. The unfortunate truth is that pharmaceutical manufacturers
have much more power than the few consumers that want to do the right thing.
The pharms industry is good at solving their dilemmas.<br>

It's better than flushing.<br>

Hi Everyone,<br>
<br>
Most controlled substances are dispensed by the pharmacy into the common
plastic vials you receive at the drugstore or through mail order, especially
since they are usually not a maintenance med where you'd be getting the full
bottle as packaged by the manufacturer. Those are already labeled with a C and
the appropriate schedule number, II, III, IV, or IV. So we are back to square
one on identification. The real solution is to get a change in the DEA
regulations so they can go back through a consumer mail back program.<br>

Seems it should be a fairly easy effort for the manufacturer to make the
controlled meds' containers a dark red for easy identification for the consumer
even tho different states have different rules on what's controlled and what's
not. The feds have their national list and the states can go even
further.<br>
<br>
The national drug code (NDC) code does not readily identify what the med is and
whether it might be controlled or not. So, I'm with you, Sue, folks
will/can not easily separate controlled vs non- for proper disposal.<br>
<br>
Just talked to my pharmacist. In talking about the expiration dates, some
drugs are still effective beyond that date but, she did warn vitamin C can turn
possibly carcinogenic once expired. Beware, the vitamins too?<br>

My first reaction to this "Do Flush" list is not one that's
optimistic.<br>
Considering the plethora of various prescription drugs that are presubscribed
nowadays, with no end in sight, I do not think that people can be tasked with
educating themselves on which drugs can and can't be flushed.<br>

Does anyone have a copy of the updated "Do Flush" list from the DEA
as it relates to certain controls? I understand that number grew from around 12
categories.<br>
