Simply file your DEA 222 forms and pack your unused or expired pharmaceuticals in a box and ship them to us—we’ll take it from there. We provide you with:

Drug Take-Back Program
Our Drug-Take Back Program ensures your customers have a convenient way to properly dispose of over-the-counter medications, prescription drugs and controlled prescription drugs. Disposal also helps to prevent prescription drug abuse, accidental poisoning and environmental hazards such as water contamination.

Time-Saving Inventory Services
Reduce the burden of pharmaceutical logistics and accompanying paperwork by taking advantage of Pharma Logistics’ 3rd-party drug inventory services. Together, with our partner inventory providers, we will customize a pharmaceutical returns inventory program that best fills your needs.
You can pay using credits from your returns, so your budget is never affected. We simply deduct service fees from your credits, so you don’t have to deal with invoices. You can track every transaction 24/7 via our real-time Client Portal.
Rapid Credit Program
Many government facilities rely on an outside vendor to handle their reverse pharmaceutical distribution process to garner return credits. Often it takes 6-12 months or more to receive credit and potentially longer to reconcile those credits via traditional credit programs.
The Pharma Logistics Rapid Credit Program delivers your credit within 14 days from the day your product arrives at our facility. Meaning, you can reconcile your accounts sooner and free up your staff from bookkeeping, allowing them to focus on patient care and other responsibilities that keep your facility running smoothly.
- Receive your credit faster than through traditional credit programs
- Boost cash flow and generate reoccurring revenue
- Upfront payment eliminates time spent on reconciliation
- The risk of a decrease in product return value, due to changes in manufacturer policies, is transferred from your pharmacy to Pharma Logistics
- Accurate, predictive calculations of ERV mean higher prefunded payments
- Use our Rapid Credit Program with both our Onsite and Box and Ship services
- Online Client Portal for 24/7 data access
