Most drugstores in Ji'nan do not recover their regular drugs and are difficult to deal with. It is urgent to establish a unified recycling mechanism.
expiration drugs are now included in the national hazardous waste catalogue, which will continue to produce some unpredictable toxicity against the body. It should be noted that some volatile and overdue drugs may become allergic sources and pollution sources. However, when the family keeps a large number of over-the-counter medicines, people's awareness and awareness of the dangers of expired drugs are far less than that of "stockpiling drugs".
in fact, even if people know the importance of the reclaim, it is not known whether the drug can be successfully delivered to the recycling enterprise and complete the harmless destruction. The reporter recently found that the recovery of the expired drugs has not been standardized so far, and it is also a difficult problem to rely on the public welfare behavior of the enterprises and the destruction of the overdue drugs stored.
A most pharmacies do not recycle permanent drugs and are difficult to deal with
now many families have small medicine kits. Ying Cao of the public said that when she was sorting out the medicine box the other day, she found that there were still 4 years of Qingkailing granules in her family. The survey shows that about 78.6% of our families have small family medicine boxes, of which 30% to 40% of the drugs are more than 3 years of validity, and more than 80% of the families have not regularly cleaned up the medicine box, and about 15 thousand tons of overdue drugs produced in the whole year.
Ying Cao told reporters that she wanted to throw the overdue drugs into the downstairs trash can, and she was afraid of "drug traffickers" to go to the unlawful market. "For example, there are only a few door stores with recycling bins in the large public pharmacy of Mouyu," I asked the address on the customer service phone and ran to Quancheng road to find it.
the reporter visited several chain drugstores, including gargle civilians, Fang Cheng and Yongkang. Most of them were unable to recover expired drugs. Only the gargle civilians were located in the gate stores in the west gate, the 27 new village, the Hualong road and other places of the chain drugstores.
Ali health and Guangyao group, which relies on the "national family overdue drug recovery alliance", to collect overdue drugs on a national family overdue drug recovery alliance, is one of the 16 pilot cities in Ji'nan, but the reporter called his customer service to know that the event ended in the end of March this year.
what will normally be disposed of? Most citizens will discarded the full package of overdue drugs directly, and the other will dismantle the packing, destroy the tablets or capsules, and the granules can be washed away directly from the wash pool.
B no incentive mechanism, public enthusiasm is not high
reporter from the city food and drug administration, the city food and Drug Administration learned that the expired drugs have been explicitly listed in the national hazardous waste catalogue, one of the important sources of environmental pollution. The pollution of the 1 overdue drugs is equivalent to the 3 section of waste batteries, enough to pollute 1 people for 5 years Water consumption. The most frightening thing is that once the overdue drug flows into the hands of illegal traders or illegal medical institutions, refurbishing the packaging and returning to the market will bring unpredictable consequences to the whole society.
expired drugs have great harm, but there is a lack of recycling system. The current "drug management law" in China has made clear requirements for the production, sale and use of drugs. Forty-ninth of them regard "drugs beyond the validity period" as "inferior drugs" and prohibit the production and sale of inferior drugs, but the handling behavior of expired drugs has not been explained, and the main body of responsibility for the implementation of the overdue drugs is carried out. There is no provision and no recovery system for expired drugs has been established. Therefore, over the whole country, the recovery and treatment of expired drugs is a difficult problem.
in this context, as early as 2005, our city began to explore the recovery of expired drugs. The Municipal Food and Drug Administration and gargle civilians jointly launched the public welfare activities of "cleaning up small family medicine boxes, safe medication and health". Send a small medicine box. At that time, this move was the first time in a big city in the country, and also aroused enthusiastic response from the citizens. Liu Yanhui, a civilian worker in garland jade, said that thousands of people were sent to the drugstore 5 days before the launch. The
Municipal Food and drug administration has also customized 300 expired drug recovery boxes, extending to the community, rural areas, hospitals and schools throughout the city. The family expired drugs are recovered into the community and into the school, and the citizens are encouraged to clean up the expired drugs of the family and eliminate the expired drugs due to misuse and random discarding. The safety hidden danger and environmental pollution caused by the product.
it is understood that drug recycling is the normalization mechanism of gargling jade civilians, but without incentives, the enthusiasm of the public is greatly affected.
