A Good Start With Colorado Senate Bill 115
[...] Ultimately, I’d like to see us reach a point where medication waste is virtually eliminated. Medication bottles that allow pills to be removed but not re-inserted, or a switch to only using blister packs for pills, could allow even partially used prescriptions to be returned to pharmacies for redistribution. And with the cost of prescriptions becoming more of a barrier between patients and needed treatment, the destruction of perfectly good unused medication seems like a travesty.
