Center for utilization of expired medicines needs to be established in Armenia

PanARMENIAN.Net - The return of medicines is forbidden by the law in Armenia; they can be sent for utilization, the cost of which may exceed the cost of medicine by 20 (!) times.

What should be done? Experts believe that a center for utilization of medicines should be created in Armenia, what requires the state’s assistance.

The tariffs set for utilization should be affordable, for example, at around 10% of medicine’s cost, so that drugstores are interested in their utilization.

Presently, drugstores prefer to throw them away, what causes damage to the environment.
