INTRODUCTION
Samples are widely used in office practice. It is not known how many sample medications are expired and therefore not useful to patients.
METHODS
We inventoried 10 sample closets in primary care offices to quantify the number of expired medications.
RESULTS
Of the 12,581 drug packages and boxes we inventoried in 10 sample closets, 14% of medications were expired. Sample closets varied widely in their organization; the range of expired medications in the 10 closets was 0% to 28%.
CONCLUSION
Many sample closet medications are expired, indicating a substantial amount of waste.
