| 词条 | Drug recycling |
| 释义 |
It is traditional to expect that consumers get prescription drugs from a pharmacy and that the pharmacy got their drugs from a trusted source.[1] In a drug recycling program, consumers would access drugs through a less regulated supply chain and consequently the quality of the drugs could be lower.[1] Advocates and opponents of drug recycling programs differ in judging the risk of the less regulated supply chain lowering the quality of drugs which reach the consumer.[1] Various regional governments in the United States offer drug recycling programs.[2][3] As of 2010, Canada had fewer drug recycling programs than the United States.[4] Various organizations and governments are experimenting with different ways to manage drug recycling programs.[5] Many drug recycling programs only take drugs from professionals, and never from patients.[5] Drug recycling programs are not designed to be useful for consumers seeking to dispose of drugs.[5] These programs also are not intended to lessen the environmental impact of pharmaceuticals and personal care products.[5] Typically they only accept medication which has not expired and which is in unopened packaging.[5] When re-using recycled drugs, they only go to specific pharmacies which are prepared to address the special requirements of participating in a recycling program.[5] Usually, drug returns happen without financial compensation.[5] SIRUM, an acronym for "Supporting Initiatives to Redistribute Unused Medicine", is a nonprofit organization which advocates for drug recycling.
