Family Efforts Brought Legalized Drug Donations
Programs that permit the donation of good, unused drugs to the needy owe their existence to the lobbying by families of patients. It all began 10 years ago with Garry Beltz, who owns a ceiling tile cleaning business near Akron, Ohio. After his wife, Karon, died of breast cancer in 1999, he was determined that the last evidence of her disease--$6,700 worth of prescription drugs--be put to good use helping others in need. "I took the medicine back to the hospital to ask if they would give it to someone at the cancer center," Beltz says. "They said it was against the law."Frustrated, Beltz began lobbying his state representatives to change the regulations. A few years later, in 2002, his efforts paid off when the Ohio General Assembly passed "Karon's Law," which became the first law in the U.S. to allow donations of unused medications to a repository. Since then, Beltz has been integral to the adoption of similar legislation in numerous other states. &q

Hurdles Facing Unused Prescription Drug Repositories
Americans spend some $200 billion annually on prescription drugs. Since 1997, in an effort to keep a lid on costs, 37 states have enacted legislation allowing patients, their families and health care facilities to recycle good, unused pills through local pharmacies for donation to patients lacking sufficient insurance. Thousands of patients could in principle benefit from these “drug repository” laws. But as well intentioned as these efforts are, practical problems have prevented widespread implementation of such programs.The guidelines for these laws, which began thanks to the lobbying efforts of families of cancer patients, are fairly consistent throughout the country. Donated medications must be in sealed, tamper-evident packaging and usually must be within no more than six months of their expiration date. Pharmacies are not held liable should the drug’s next owner come to unexpected harm from the medication. Some repositories accept cancer drugs only; others take
