The project is a project in which participating pharmacies guide patients who have been prescribed drugs to collect and dispose of them and return the remaining medical drugs after use. A total of 100 pharmacies in nine regions, including six metropolitan cities, Bucheon, Jeonju, and Suwon Special City, will participate. In order to actively participate in the project and increase the amount of collected drugs, eco-friendly bags will also be presented when drugs are returned.
In addition, patients who are prescribed drugs such as fentanyl at pharmacies in five general hospitals, including (Daegu) Gyeongbuk University Hospital, (Daejeon) Chungnam National University Hospital, (Suwon) Ajou University Hospital, (Incheon) Incheon St. Mary's Hospital, and (Jeonju) Jeonbuk National University Hospital, will be strengthened in education on how to safely and appropriately take drugs prescribed ▲ and actively induce the return of drugs after taking them by guiding pharmacies participating in collection and disposal projects in nearby areas.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety said last year that it inspected 433 drug dealers and detected and took measures in 188 of them to request an investigation or administrative disposition. The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety has banned doctors from self-prescribing propofol from February 7 this year to prevent misuse of medical drugs, and plans to strengthen the safety management of medical drugs by consulting with medical organizations to designate not only fentanyl but also major misuse ingredients as targets for confirmation of medication history.
