  • Publication number: 20140187842
    Abstract: Device for the neutralization and disposal of unused human or animal pharmaceutical medicament. The device comprises a disposal device material that contains one or more disposal device agents. The disposal device material may also contain additional components to promote mixing, or neutralization of the active agent of the medicament. The disposal device material can be in the form of pellets, beads, beadlets, granules, or the like, and can be incorporated into a disposal device reservoir. The disposal device can be dispensed with a medicament, and the device can be used when the patient has finished using the medicament and there is material left over for disposal.
