As the leader in processing pharmaceutical recalls and returns, Stericycle offers unique capabilities in helping to develop the pharmaceutical waste characterization of your formulary. This includes:

 

• A proprietary database of over 160,000 National Drug Codes (NDCs), monitored and updated daily by Stericycle Environmental Scientists.
• Your formulary will be compared to the database and a determination will be made about the waste characteristics of each NDC.
• The characterization includes a determination of both EPA/RCRA and DOT waste status.
• Our Environmental Scientists work with your pharmacists to research and characterize compound drugs.
• New drugs that are added to a hospital's formulary are characterized on an ongoing basis.
