Session
Pharmaceutical and Natural Sciences
Description
Proper storage and handling of medicines throughout the distribution chain to the consumer/patient is an important process that affects the quality of medicines as a prerequisite for the effectiveness and safety of medicines. The patient, as the user, the end in that chain, has a very important role, because every person usually stores in their home medicines for the treatment of certain diseases or incidental use. All medicines should be stored in compliance with the storage recommendations/instructions that are determined by the manufacturing drug company, marked on the medicine packaging, and on the patient information leaflet. Non-compliance and non-implementation of these recommendations cause significant changes in the quality of the medicines, which may result in decreased efficiency or problems with the safety of the medicines.
Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to analyze the importance of patient compliance with medicines storage recommendations and the consequences of non-compliance with them.
