Dayton, Ohio-based health plan CareSource announced a partnership with at-home medication disposal service DisposeRx in an effort to prevent opioid misuse.
The DisposeRx product is a powder that, when mixed with water and applied to a drug, sequesters its active ingredients in a viscous polymer gel, making it unusable, according to a May 13 news release.
CareSource plans to expand the availability of the product to members outside of Ohio throughout the year.
