The National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA) appreciates the opportunity to provide comments on the FDA notice, establishment of a public docket, and request for comments on Providing Mail-Back Envelopes and Education on Safe Disposal With Opioid Analgesics Dispensed in an Outpatient Setting. NCPA represents America's community pharmacists, including 19,400 independent community pharmacies. Almost half of all community pharmacies provide long-term care services and play a critical role in ensuring patients have immediate access to medications in both community and long-term care (LTC) settings. Together, our members represent a $67 billion healthcare marketplace, employ 215,000 individuals, and provide an expanding set of healthcare services to millions of patients every day. Our members are small business owners who are among America's most accessible healthcare providers. Please see our full comments attached. NCPA appreciates the opportunity to comment on FDA's proposed revision to the OA REMS. That being said, community pharmacists already provide significant assistance in fighting the opioid pandemic. Therefore, NCPA asks FDA to not move forward with the proposed changes to OA REMS, or at the very least make it a strictly voluntary program.
