Sec. 10.34.33.03. Donation Program — Ineligible Drugs

A. Prescription drugs or medical supplies may not be accepted for dispensing if the prescription drugs or medical supplies:

(1) Bear an expiration date that is less than 90 days from the date the drug is donated to ensure the potency and quality of the prescription drugs or medical supplies;

(2) Have been adulterated, according to the standards of Health-General Article, §21-216, Annotated Code of Maryland, because adulterated prescription drugs or medical supplies have been determined to be a threat to public health;

(3) Are designated controlled dangerous substances by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration which has determined that controlled dangerous substances may not be donated under a repository program;

(4) Require refrigeration because the potency and quality may not be guaranteed; or

(5) Have been previously compounded because compounded prescription drugs are patient specific.

B. The repository shall dispose of donated prescription drugs or medical supplies if they are not accepted into the Program for the purpose of dispensing.
