<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:navy'>From the policy experience here in Maine could I suggest the
following. Inded waste prevention is the best policy, so how and where in the
system does that take place? At the prescriber’s office. It is a great
opportunity to address 2 populations: prescribers can be asked does the
prescription you write today really need to be that long? And the publican be
asked, when you see your health care professional be empowered to ask do I
really need this much medication for this long? And then what can you do to
help me get rid of it if I can’t take it or don’t need it? I’d also suggest
talking to your state medical association and see if they could co-sponsor as
there might be better public uptake and to your state CDC. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:navy'>Just a few thoughts. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:navy'>And the reference to policy I made at the outset. After our
Medicaid office recognized that they could save by cutting the first
prescription from unlimited to limited 15 days as a maximum for reimbursement
they instituted it as a policy. One MD called me up and said that they were
going to adopt that policy with all of their patients regardless of the
insurance company. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

As you know, the best management is no waste, so I would suggest including
source reduction tips. Encourage the public to ask their docs for a
non-pharmaceutical treatment; such as physical therapy, neti pots, exercise and
