We support a variety of near-term and long-term solutions designed to prevent prescription drug misuse and fight the opioid epidemic, from drug take-back initiatives to reduced prescribing to Generation Rx. (Generation Rx, founded at The Ohio State University College of Pharmacy, has been powered through a partnership with the Cardinal Health Foundation since 2009.)
