Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about pharmaceutical disposal, DEA compliance, product usage, regulations, and best practices.
-
Does activated carbon render substances non-retrievable?
Activated carbon is a form of chemical digestion. Chemical digestion is recognized as an example of current technology that may be utilized to achieve the non-retrievability standard set by the DEA. Rx Destroyer uses activated carbon.
-
Does Rx Destroyer prevent pharmaceuticals from entering groundwater or drinking water supplies?
Rx Destroyer is designed to reduce the potential for pharmaceutical compounds to be released into the environment by adsorbing medications utilizing a method of deactivation known as chemical digestion. This method of disposal eliminates the contamination risks associated with flushing or draining medications. TCLP testing demonstrated that greater than 99% of ibuprofen in the evaluated Rx Destroyer sample was non-leachable, indicating a low potential for release under the simulated landfill leaching conditions used in the test.
-
How does Rx Destroyer pharmaceutical disposal system work?
Rx Destroyer patented* formula begins dissolving medications on contact. As medications are dispersed in the activated carbon slurry, diversion is discouraged, and potential environmental harm is reduced. Product is “ready-to-use”, no adding water needed. Simply add medications and when container is full discard into common trash. With regard to pharmaceutical waste disposal, and other regulated activities associated with pharmaceuticals, always follow applicable federal, state, local, and tribal laws and regulations.
-
How long does it take to adsorb or deem drugs irretrievable?
Adsorption or irretrievability time varies depending on many factors including environment, drug type, quantity, and cocktail combinations. For this reason, we recommend keeping Rx Destroyer containers that are in use kept in a controlled and secure location.
-
Is there independent testing showing that the product effectively neutralizes active drug ingredients?
Yes. Independent and certified DEA lab testing demonstrates the effectiveness of Rx Destroyer products for deactivation, adsorption and environmental impact.
