as far as i know, the pharmacys don't have to account for every broken, chipped, or powdered pill they receive in each bottle. they simply inform the supplier of the approx quantity that was damaged for credit. i'm not sure if they have a system of destroying the unsellable ones, or if it is up to the managing pharmacist to dispose of them.

i could think of a few good ways!

the bigger pharmacies probably have strict procedures to follow when disposing of them. but the independent & smaller stores..... who knows???
