E-DRUG: Returned medicines and drug donations (3)
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear E-druggers,

Whilst I know of no research that has been done on this subject, I know from
conversaions with members of the Drug Regulatory Authorities in some of the
recipient countries how dangerous these donations can be, since they are
often brought into the country without the normal QA/QC checks being carried
out.  Also, this contravenes the GDP requirements for treatment of
non-defective returns, which can only be re-used if they are properly
assessed and the history of their previous use and storage is known.

Kind regards,
