Donors

Thank you for your interest in becoming a donor to the Prescription Drug Donation Repository Program, known as Rx Connects.

In addition to the eligibility criteria, donors must agree to the following and only donate a prescription drug or supply to a repository if:

• Donor has obtained written approval (email or mail) from a participating repository prior to shipping any donated drugs or supplies.
• Drug(s) is approved for medical use in the United States.
• Drug(s) is in unopened, tamper-evident packaging.
• Drug(s) requires storage at normal room temperature per the manufacturer or federal storage requirements.
• Drug(s) has been stored according to manufacturer or federal storage requirements.
• Drug(s) does not have any physical signs of tampering or adulteration and there is no reason to believe that the drug is adulterated.
• Packaging does not have any physical signs of tampering, misbranding, deterioration, compromised integrity, or adulteration.
• Packaging indicates the expiration date of the drug. If the lot number is not retrievable, all specified medications must be destroyed.
• Drug(s) has an expiration date that is more than 3 months after the date on which the drug was donated.
• Donations are made on the premises of a repository to a person designated by the repository. A drop-box may not be used to accept donations. Donations approved by the receiving repository may be shipped.

A prescription drug or supply may not be donated to a specific patient.

The Florida Department of Health may facilitate the redistribution of donations between repositories.
