Deterra™ Drug Deactivation System Debuts to Pharmacists During the Cardinal Health Retail Business Conference July 22 - 25

MINNEAPOLIS, July 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Verde Technologies announced that its Deterra Drug Deactivation System, the first tool that is scientifically tested to safely and effectively neutralize and dispose of leftover prescription medications in a self-contained pouch, will debut to pharmacists attending the Cardinal Health Retail Business Conference (RBC) from July 22 – 25 in Las Vegas. RBC is one of the largest gatherings of independent pharmacists. The Deterra System will be demonstrated and available for sale at booth #4850.

The Deterra System is the first and only solution that utilizes patented MAT₁₂™ Molecular Adsorption Technology to deactivate unwanted, unneeded opioids, antibiotics, transdermal patches and other prescription drugs, rendering them ineffective for misuse and safe for the environment. The Deterra System features a pouch containing MAT₁₂, a proprietary activated carbon that bonds to pharmaceutical compounds when water is added, rendering drugs ineffective and safe for disposal quickly in any setting – pharmacy, home, clinic or hospital.

"Cardinal Health is an outstanding leader in healthcare services, and we're excited to offer Deterra to their pharmacist partners during the RBC event," said Jason Sundby, president and CEO of Verde Technologies. "Using Deterra to neutralize and safely dispose of drugs will not only help to reduce prescription drug abuse but will also reduce negative impact on the environment."

Deterra has a 98.1 percent success rate in deactivating prescription drugs, according to a research study supported by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). Designed to be a cost-effective and easy-to-use drug abuse deterrent, Deterra is also environmentally friendly as it renders chemical compounds safe for landfills. It also provides an excellent alternative to take back incineration programs and potentially reduces watershed contamination.
