Cancer Drug Donation Program

During the 2009 Session the Nevada Legislature enacted the Cancer Drug Donation Program.

This program allows participating pharmacies to accept cancer medications used in the course of cancer treatment, that were dispensed by a Nevada pharmacy. The drugs may be re-dispensed to Nevada residents who are currently being treated for cancer. Pharmacies can choose to be a part of this program by filling out a short form found on the website listed above. Participation in the program is voluntary and the pharmacy can elect to quit at any time. 

The medications accepted by the participating pharmacy can be redispensed to participating cancer patients who are Nevada residents that have, in conjunction with their physician, signed-up to be a part of the program.

The pharmacy is required to keep the medication donated to the program in a separate location from their normal drug stock and document transfer of medication on the forms provided by the Nevada State Board of Pharmacy. All forms can be found on the website. 

If you are interested in becoming a participating pharmacy or would like more information on the Cancer Drug Donation Program; please visit the Nevada State Board of Pharmacy website, Chapter 457 of Nevada Administrative Code, or Nevada Revised Statute Chapter 457.
