<DIV><SPAN class=343230113-16042010><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>but,
the software's going to be worth diddly isn't it, if hundreds of
pills arrive inside a couple quart plastic bags without their original
containers and you don't have a highly trained pharmacist sitting right there
eyeballing every pill to identify it by color, shape and any numbers/letters on
them? Is there an easy/in-expensive way to handle these
situations?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal>Hi everyone,<o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal>This is my first post on the subject of handling RcRa
pharmaceutical waste.<o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal>I have developed a software program that is capable
of sorting out RcRa, control, and non-haz itemes. It also creates
a seperate inventory list to dispose of
them properly.<o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal>This program is very effective in seperating the
waste stream, however, it is not efficient in seperatings already
dispensed drug without the NDC.<o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal>The Question I have is this:<o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
<OL type=1>
<LI class=MsoNormal
style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1">Can
pharmacy be regulated to put NDC# on prescription bottles or <SPAN
class=yshortcuts>blister packs</SPAN>?<o:p></o:p>
<LI class=MsoNormal
style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1">Why
not have Pharmaceutical mfg identify RcRa haz on their product, like
they do on control items.( example Warfarin P001) ? .<o:p></o:p>
</LI></OL>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal>This would allow someone like us to manage the <SPAN
class=yshortcuts>hazard waste</SPAN> like we would on DEA controlled
drugs. I know my program can definitely help sort out all the
<SPAN class=yshortcuts>Hazardous drugs</SPAN> and <SPAN
class=yshortcuts>control drugs</SPAN> without much effort.
<o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal>And with NDC /UPC code on dispensed drugs, it would
be so easy to sort out drugs by its waste code and create useful
report during the take back events.<o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal>Thank you,<o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
