The World Health Organisation Policy Perspective on Medicine reveals that more than 50% of all medicines worldwide are prescribed, dispensed or sold inappropriately while half of all patients fail to take them correctly.
IF you have been prescribed plenty of pills and other medication by your doctor or local pharmacist, and you are not sure whether to take them all, simply bring them for a brown bag medication check-up at the “Know Your Medicine” event on Sept 29.
Jointly organised by UCSI University’s Pharmaceutical Sciences Faculty and the Health Ministry’s Pharmaceutical Services Division, the campaign will be held at Block A on UCSI’s KL campus from 9am to 6pm.
