Unwanted medicine: Pharmacy Collection Protocol
A Returned Unwanted Medicine (RUM) Project approved container will be delivered by the wholesaler to the participating pharmacy. The container is to be kept in a section of the dispensary or in a room or enclosure in the pharmacy to which the public do not have access. The container may be placed in a visible position, but out of reach of the public, as this will reinforce the message that unwanted prescription drugs can be returned to the pharmacy and that the returned medicines will not be recycled. Needles, other sharps and liquid cytotoxic products should not be placed in the container, but in one specifically designed for such waste.
