Like any other medical waste, pharmaceutical waste managementis equally important. The pharmaceutical waste must also be disposed of accurately as its improper disposal may lead to environmental pollution in addition to many public health issues.

  4. Segregating it from Other Medical Waste Controlled substances such as opiates and benzodiazepines must be removed from the pharmaceutical waste. These substances should be addressed according to the US Drug Enforcement Agency's rules, regulations, and guidelines. The unused controlled substances should be returned to the manufacturers. For this, many licensed reverse distributors can be contacted easily. Keep any Trace Chemotherapy Waste Separately As universally known, chemotherapy waste is extremely damaging to everyone and should be disposed of appropriately. Trace chemotherapy waste consists of empty medication vials or bottles, IV medication tubes, and even the medical gloves worn by the staff while doing chemotherapy. All this kind of waste must be disposed of in an FDA approved yellow container. Additionally, expired chemotherapy medications should be disposed of as hazardous chemical waste.
