<br>

you have done so far. </span></font></font><font color="#222222" face="arial,sans-serif"><font color="blue"><span style="background-color:#eeeeee"><font color="#222222" face="arial,sans-serif"><font color="blue"><span style="background-color:#eeeeee">Everyone

<br>
The DEA rule leaves us in an awkward position. They mandate an non-recoverable standard, mentioning that incineration and chemical digestion meet the standard and flushing and trash disposal do not. They go on to say they will not evaluate other technologies
(or is it products?).<br>
<br>
Though reading research papers may have convinced me that activated carbon, used in the proper ratio and given enough time, will meet the DEA standard, most folks will only have a companies assurance that their product does.<br>
<br>
Looking at the FillAbox website, I didn't see a specific claim that it meets the DEA standard. Did I overlook it? If so, do you think FillAbox would consider offering a guarantee? Perhaps a promise to pay all legal fees and fines should the government take
action, on the basis of improper disposal of pharmaceuticals, against any home or corporate consumer using your product? A guarantee might help close sales with potential customers.
<br>
<br>
I (somewhat cynically) venture to say that even without any consideration of your products performance, a guarantee is probably a low risk action. The DEA has already told us they won't be checking. What other agency will? The longstanding lack of government
resources for environmental protection/enforcement makes a challenge unlikely, in my opinion.

Illegal diversion will always be an issue, at pharmacies, police stations, and in homes.<br>
<br>
For awhile, I collected news reports about such occurrences. These stories are powerful reminders of the temptation of easy money and the desperation of addicts.
<br>
<br>
They are also anecdotal accounts. However many of them are collected, I suspect they will be of limited use in determining what percent of controlled substances received in take back programs are illegally diverted. I'd be surprised if there is any real data
on this. The DEA probably has data on diversion from pharmacies stock of controlled substances.
<br>
<br>
I'd suggest that pharmacies who have concerns should to be reminded that the detailed procedures for take back were written by the DEA, an agency that is completely committed to the prevention of illegal diversion. They need to understand and follow the DEA
procedures.<br>
<div><br>
What are the specific concerns that you are hearing? If it is robbery, a double locked take back box has more security than their stock of controlled substances, which are more concentrated and easier to access. If the concern is an employee stealing from
the un-inventoried contents in a return box, DEA procedure is that no single employee have both keys to access collected medications. The odds of collusion to commit a felony between two employees is small.<br>
<br>
I'm interested to see what others have to say on this.<br>

Subject: Re: [Pharmwaste] RE: any good data on diversion?<br>
To all,<br>
<br>
While diversion may be an issue cited by some pharmacies as a reason not to participate in an Rx-Waste Collection program its likely more misinformation about the DEA regs in place to limit diversion and specific methods of collection that further reduce the
potential for diversion.<br>
<br>
The DEA regs for the collection of controlled substances do minimize the potential for diversion. Primarily the regs. require customers place Rx-waste in lockable container and not pass to a pharmacy employee. The two pharmacy staff signature requirement also
limits diversion potential.<br>
<br>
The regulation that speaks to Rx-Waste not being handled by pharmacy staff should be clearly indicated on the collection container in addition to other pertinent info.<br>
<br>
<br>
The Yellow Jug Old Drugs Program utilizes a system of gel in the collection containers that render the medications irretrievable according to DEA standards. This very much minimizes the potential for diversion<br>
<br>
We believe that the biggest barrier to pharmacies is the potential cost for a pharmacy to participate in an Rx-Waste Collection Program. Great Lake Clean Water/US Clean Water is committed to keeping costs low to encourage more pharmacies to participate resulting
in more communities keeping their<br>
water clean and their communities safe through proper collection and disposal of Rx-Waste.<br>

> Subject: [Pharmwaste] any good data on diversion?<br>
><br>
> Good morning,<br>
><br>
> One of the biggest arguments I’ve heard against participating in the collection of unwanted pharms at pharmacies is the possibility of diversion. It seems like a valid argument, so I’d like to see if there is any anecdotal evidence to that effect.<br>
><br>
> I’ve contacted Iowa to find out what they have experienced since they’ve had the TakeAway program in place for a number of years. They still do not collect controlled substances, so I understand any diversion (or lack thereof) they experience could be attributed
to that.<br>
><br>
> I’d like to hear from other states, especially ones that are collecting at pharmacies, to see if there is any data on diversion.<br>
><br>
> Thank you,<br>
