Yes, forty-one US states and territories have passed legislation to allow for the collection and distribution of unused medicine. If you reside in a state where drug donation laws have not been adopted, you can still legally donate unused medicine and supplies to SafeNetRx. In addition, the World Health Organization has established international guidelines for donated medicine.
SafeNetRx requires you keep Patient Intake Forms on file for five years following dispensing of donated medicines. Additionally, per the Iowa Administrative Code 8.7(6), All pharmacies shall maintain supplier invoices of prescription drugs upon which the actual date of receipt of the drugs by the pharmacist or other responsible individual is clearly recorded. Pharmacy records of shipments shall be maintained for at least two years from the date of the record.
Donated medications must be labeled appropriately before dispensing to patients. Take a look at our labeling template for more guidance. In addition to labeling, consider printing drug information material for your patient. Patient-friendly drug monographs can be found here. Contact SafeNetRx at repository@safenetrx.org for additional guidance and ask about our Sample Handling Procedures to assist with policy development for your organization.
Medications ordered from SafeNetRx may only be dispensed to eligible patients that complete a Patient Intake Form. Patient Eligibility Requirements include:

Our rules and regulations require us to maintain the privacy and confidentiality of any donation that has patient information. We take this obligation very seriously and have strict protocols in place. We prefer to remove the HIPAA information ourselves as this sometimes contains required information about the drug and expiration date. When registering, each organization has the opportunity to sign a business agreement regarding donations with HIPAA information still attached.
SafeNetRx will keep a copy of your registration on hand. We do not require you to keep any documentation of donations, but we encourage you to take a look at your state's prescription drug return, reuse and recycling laws to ensure you are in compliance.
We’ll email you a completed copy of your donation form to print and send with your donation. If you do not see it right away, check to see if it ended up in your junk mail. If you do not have access to a printer, please include a piece of paper with your name and the date you submitted the donation form with your shipment. We will not "approve" your donation before you mail it, but we will reach out if we notice a problem with your donation form.

Lastly, dispose of ineligible items that didn't meet our eligibility. Please dispose of them properly by dropping them off at a local collection site.
