Pharmaceutical waste loss
I can almost deal with "pharma-waste", though I think the full term would be more professional, but what about "Ausfall". Is this about waste going missing or not recovered?

I'm wondering whether it is actually something like "loose pharmaceutical waste" and "loose blister packs from out-of-date drugs/medicines"
Here are the guidelines for the safe disposal of unwanted medicine: http://www.who.int/immunization_safety/publications/waste_ma... which may help (or not, as I'm totally guessing what the Ausfall could mean here).
