They had 5, 55 gallon drums collected over a 3 month period that we dumped out and took apart. There were some things, like powder and aerosol inhalers, that we didn’t take apart because of exposure concerns. We estimated the amounts of liquids and gels/creams vs. packaging weight based on eyeballing the remaining contents and subtracting that from the total weight instead of dumping or squeezing them out. I think it was done well enough to give a good idea of percentages of packaging vs. pills/liquids/gels. </SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Solid medicines are administered orally as powders, pills, cachets, capsules or tablets. These are technical classification of the form in which medicine is produced and marketed. Tablets and capsules currently account for more than 2/3 of total number and cost of solid medicines produced globally. Tablet is defined as a compressed solid dosage form containing medicaments with or without diluents. It's easier to mass produce, package and distribute tablets and capsules. Many peoplegroup them boardly into "pills". When we refer to "pills" in the National Unused and Expired Medicines Registry, we include tablets, capsules and pills. >From various sampling, we don't get much powders or pills, except products categorized as CAM: alternative and complementary medicines (herbals, teas, extracts, etc.). Yes, people are returning supplements and CAM along with their unwanted meds and some illicit "recreational" drugs.</SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 12pt"></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black"></SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Tablets come in various shape, size and weight, depending on the actual amount of medicinal substances and the intended mode of administration. Tablet is the most popular dosage form and accounts for about 70% of the total solid medicines dispensed in US and abroad.</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN style="COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"></SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">For our data analysis, we followed the consensus of the MBSG steering committee to collect at minimum 5 essential variables (name of drug, strength, quantity returned, reason for return, zip code). For reliability, only the <B><SPAN>quantity return</SPAN></B> for solid medicines (pills, tablets and capsules) was selected for quantitative analysis. We estimate the proportion of wasted medicine by the quantity and extrapolated standard packsize (what we expect the original quantity of medicine should be on an average based on drug name and strength; reference Red Book). We performed a small closed population study to compare our "guessing" with the actual prescription quantity on the label. The correlation was 0.96. We continue to study our extrapolation method to further validate our protocol.</SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 12pt"></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black"></SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">As you can see, we don't particularly get involved with weight of medicine so much as others who directly deal with collection, handling, disposal and destruction of the drugs. Weight or volume are used to price the cost of shipment and incineration. However, we have been asked occasionally to give an estimate of the collected medicines in the Registry. For this, we use a standard weight reference from an international health group that declared <B><SPAN>300mg </SPAN></B>as the "average" weight of a "pill", based on the common aspirin. Subtracting this calculated total weight for "pills" from the total weight of the entire sample of packages with the pills would provide a crude weight for packaging materials. To answer your answer regarding a "consensus", the answer is "no". </SPAN><SPAN style="COLOR: black"></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">A good contact for this discussion is the Green Pharmacy folks in CA. I just reviewed a paper by Joel Kreisberg and Ilene Ruhoy that describes a pilot drug collection program in the Bay Area, 2009-2010. They did an outstanding job characterizing each returned medicine (solid, liquids, gels, etc.). The data collection was robust to include actual prescribed quantity (number of pills) and the type of materials (glass, foil, paper, plastic) and estimated proportion of packaging materials. We only reviewed the final draft. I'm not sure if this paper with final corrections is publicly available. Please contact Dr. Joel Kreisberg for more info, <A href="mailto:drkreisberg@teleosis.org" target=_blank>drkreisberg@teleosis.org</A></SPAN><SPAN style="COLOR: black"></SPAN></P>
