A bold new proposal to recycle unused medications in Bahrain has been presented to Parliament and municipal councils by a leading drugs researcher, aiming to conserve medicines that are often wasted due to changes in prescriptions or because the treatment has worked before all the tablets have been taken.
The initiative, spearheaded by retired Bahrain University researcher and former Bahrain Pharmacists’ Society vice-chairman Dr Sayed Mahmood Al Gallaf, calls for the introduction of a national programme to collect unused medications and redistribute them to patients who need them, after stringent quality and safety checks .
