Abstract

Introduction: Active pharmaceutical ingredients are present in various sections of the environment, because of both the human and veterinary use of medicinal products. Ways of minimizing the risk of environmental contamination should be observed during all pharmaceutical activities (research, manufacturing, prescribing, dispensing and disposal of medicinal products).

Methods: For the present study we searched specific literature on this subject, using the main international databases (Thomson Reuters - Web of Science, SCOPUS and Science Direct).

Results: This narrative review focuses on the main aspects concerning environmental contamination with medicinal products. Consequently, the present study is structured on four different topics: environmental research on medicinal products, minimizing environmental contamination, waste disposal management and towards a greener community pharmacy.

Conclusion: Waste management activities are important for reducing the presence of active pharmaceutical ingredients in the environment. Pharmacists should inform patients on proper pharmaceutical waste disposal and organize collection programs for unused and expired medicines, in order to develop a greener pharmacy for the future.

绿色药房——叙述性回顾。

导言:由于人类和兽药产品的使用，活性药物成分存在于环境的各个部分。在所有制药活动(药品的研究、生产、开处方、调剂和处置)中，应遵守尽量减少环境污染风险的方法。方法:在本研究中，我们使用主要的国际数据库(Thomson Reuters - Web of Science, SCOPUS和Science Direct)检索了有关该主题的特定文献。结果:本文综述了药品环境污染的主要方面。因此，本研究围绕四个不同的主题进行:医药产品的环境研究、最大限度地减少环境污染、废物处理管理和迈向更绿色的社区药房。结论:废物管理活动对减少环境中有效药物成分的存在很重要。药师应告知患者如何正确处理药品废弃物，并组织对未使用和过期药品的收集计划，为未来发展一个更加绿色的药房。
