Protection from Costly Violations

Small compliance oversights in controlled substance waste disposal and pharmaceutical record keeping can be costly. Our drug denaturing solutions are design to meet standards set by the DEA, EPA and Joint commission for pharmaceutical waste and controlled substance disposal. 

Why Dispose Properly of Controlled Substances

The DEA has passed a final ruling in 2014, the Disposal Act which amends the Controlled Substances Act, aimed to reduce the risk of environmental contamination and drug diversion through proper pharmaceutical waste disposal in pharmaceutical industry operations. Regulations 40 CFR Protection of the Environment issued by the EPA provides rulings for the proper disposal of controlled substances in an effort to prevent pharmaceutical waste from entering the environment by improper disposal which has a negative effect on aquatic ecosystems, animal and fish populations. 40 CFR finalizes prohibitions on pharmaceutical waste disposal by flushing or disposing down the drain by entities subject to this ruling.

As DEA registrants, pharmacies must follow strict guidelines for the proper disposal of controlled substances and non-controlled substances. These controlled substances must be rendered irretrievable. Flushing, throwing medications in the trash, or draining them in the sink puts your facility at risk for non compliance. 

Our controlled substance waste containers provide safe, secure, and compliant disposal solutions for pharmacies nationwide.

Drug Disposal Options for Patients

Some pharmacies have begun to offer the medication naloxone, sold under the brand name Narcan, to block the effects of opioids and prevent deadly overdoses when prescribing opioid medication. Users of opioid medication should learn how to use Narcan and keep this on hand when taking opioid medications. We applaud these initiatives to raise awareness to the potential danger of controlled substances and offer our services to pharmacies to assist in further education of proper disposal methods.

Proactive pharmacies also provide to the end user methods for the proper disposal of unused controlled drugs when medication is stopped before it is fully consumed. Educating the end user on proper drug disposal systems will help to prevent drug diversion and environmental contamination. Neutralizing unused pharmaceutical industry waste with DEA and EPA compliant disposal methods is important for pharmacists and the end user.
