There are a lot of regulations concerning the disposal of pharmaceuticals and controlled substances. As a Registrant, you are accountable for these items and their proper disposal. There are multiple forms and product restrictions that come into play during the disposal process. The most effective method to dispose of your items is to send your items to a Reverse Distributor.

Let National Pharmaceutical Returns assist you in proper disposal and record keeping.

We will take care of the all the necessary forms and reports so you can get back to business.

"We recently underwent our regular State Board of Pharmacy inspection. The inspector asked what reverse distributor we use, and we told them National Pharmaceutical Returns.
