| Is BPA in prescription vials? |
|
The news has been buzzing with concerns over the presence of bisphenol A (BPA) in plastic products. Many are confused about which plastics are safe and may question if their prescription packaging contains BPA.
All prescription packaging sold by Gunn & Richards is BPA-free and made from polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and high density polyethylene (HDPE).
Need a quick way to tell? Products that contain BPA are polycarbonate containers and will usually have a #7 on the bottom while PP, PETE and HDPE will have a #5, #1 and #2 respectively.

| Community Pharmacy Fairness Act |
|
In an effort to permit community pharmacies to negotiate fairer contracts that benefit their patients, the Community Pharmacy Fairness Act of 2009 was introduced in the House last week.
The bill helps level the playing field between more than 23,000 community pharmacies and the multi-billion dollar pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) that administer the prescription drug plans.
