What to do with unused medicines? How can I avoid having them at home? Should they be donated?
The office of PSF Switzerland is often confronted with these questions, as the public often does not know how to dispose of medicines that are no longer valid or useful.
In order to tackle a subject that concerns us all, PSF Switzerland has produced a photo-story that humorously suggests a course of action while raising consumer awareness of the rational use of medicines*.
We hope this light-hearted read will clear your mind on the subject!
Our photo-story is also available here in PDF format, so don’t hesitate to share it !
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us by phone or email.
*According to the WHO, ‘the rational use of medicines means that patients receive medicines appropriate to their clinical needs, in doses that meet their individual requirements, for an adequate period of time, and at the lowest cost to them and their community’.
