Guidelines for Drug Donations
Many Florida health care professionals want to know how they can help the Haitian nation by donating prescription drugs. It is important that donated drugs sent into a disaster area are needed and reach the area in need to insure that the donated drugs are helpful rather than harmful.
The Department can not provide legal advice on the donation of prescription drugs and the following information is intended only to provide health care providers with assistance in navigating Florida's drug donation rules. The Department is not authorized to approve individual donation programs, however the following excerpt from section 64F-12.011, Florida Administrative Code, Wholesale Distribution of Prescription Drugs-Exceptions and Specific Distributions Authorized, addresses the
donation of prescription drugs.
(3) A person authorized to possess non-dispensed prescription drugs can donate prescription drugs that are not misbranded or adulterated to a charitable organization that has been granted an exemption under s. 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and that is authorized to possess prescription drugs provided the transfer is not for sale or trade and the donor receives no financial benefit (except for tax benefits related to charitable contributions) either directly
or indirectly. Records to document the transfer must comply with Section 499.0121(6), F.S., and paragraph 64F-12.008(2)(c), F.A.C. The World Health Organization (WHO) has developed Guidelines for Drug Donations (see below) to insure that drug donations are appropriate.
