Drug recycling, also referred to as medication redispensing or medication re-use, is the idea that health care organizations or patients with unused drugs can transfer them in a safe and appropriate way to another patient in need. The purpose of such a program is reducing medication waste, thereby saving healthcare costs; improving patients’ access to necessary medication and overall enlarging medications' availability; and alleviating the environmental burden of medication.
