Act locally, think globally
Mark Massicotte, Operations Manager, Pharmacal Research Laboratories, has announced the Pharmacal Container Management Program. Starting this October, our customers can now recycle the Pharmacal 30 and 55 gallon containers at NO charge!!
The Program is very simple to join. The 30 gallon and 55 gallon HDPE Pharmacal drums will arrive in your facility with a plastic sleeve. Printed on the sleeve is an "888" number. When you have finished with the container, rinse it and replace the bunges. Call the "888" number (toll free) and request to recycle the container. You will be provided with a bill of lading and your drum will then be picked up within five business days. You can send one or as many drums at one time as you wish (although it probably would be easier for you to send a lot back at one time).
You will not be billed for this new service!!
You won't see your old drum again. All our chemicals are shipped in new natural color opaque containers. We will not be reusing these drums. Our recycler will reuse them and we will continue to purchase brand new drums. So do something good for Planet Earth and your budget at the same time.
Instead of paying to landfill these drums, let's all recycle together. If you have questions about Pharmacal's Container Management Program, ask your representative or call us at 1-800-243-5350.

Annick Lavallée Joins Pharmacal
Annick's background is certainly in scientific pursuits. She obtained the Bachelor of Science degree from McGill University in Montreal, and holds a zoology major. She desired a marketable and diverse undergraduate experience, and took several courses in microbiology, cell biology, bio-chem and ecology. Initially following graduation she wanted to move into pharmaceutical research. However, she looked into a sales position and found that she enjoyed the life on the road. When she was approached by Pharmacal to take over this territory, she thought it would be a good use of her background and her talents.
Annick was married on 22 August 1998 in the hospital where her dad was staying for treatment. As of this date, Roger is now home and continuing treatments.
Pharmacal welcomes Annick to our family. Contact her at our toll-free number:

Skin Protection for the Health Care Professional
The Pharma-Clenz System is composed of three items which work in harmony to eliminate the potential disease vectors that exist between health care personnel and the environmental factors surrounding them. Pharma-Clenz Skin Cleanser is an antimicrobial skin soap. This soap is formulated with chloroxyenol (PCMX) to prevent the transmission of infectious diseases and to remove the transient microorganisms picked up from an animal or the environment. A single wash removed 99% of the gram positive bacteria, and 98% of the gram negative bacteria in 30 seconds. Pharma-Clenz Skin Cleanser is mild to skin, non-irritating, and will not promote chaffing, swelling, rash, or redness.
Pharma-Clenz Hand and Body Lotion is designed for the health care personnel who are exposed to repeated hand washing. Pharma-Clenz Hand and Body Lotion is formulated with natural moisturizers, skin softeners, and Vitamins A and E to soothe the skin and yet not inhibit the effectiveness of the antimicrobial skin cleanser.
Pharma-Clenz Barrier Cream Protectant is specially formulated to bond with the epithelial layer of the skin. This bond actually keeps most elements from penetrating in to the lower layers of the skin. Problem elements stay isolated on the skin's surface where they can easily be removed by hand washing.
Facilities that require shower-in protocol must include an antimicrobial skin cleanser for the employee's use in the shower area. Further protection for the facility and the individual would then be afforded with the entire Pharma-Clenz system. These products carry documentation showing their killing ability. Does store-bought supposedly "antimicrobial" soap provide you with this documentation?
Each of these three products are available in convenient 16 ounce bottles. They may be purchased by product in cases of one dozen. For additional information please contact your Pharmacal representative or call us at 1-800-243-5350.
Pharmacal has completely reformulated our cleaning and degreasing product, PRL-Grease Free®. The amount of PRL-Grease Free® needed to clean and degrease is now less than the old product. Because we kept the price the same as before, you get a better product with an improved use dilution at no additional cost.
