ABSTRACT
Reuse and recycle has become a concept of everyday life. World is talking about recycling of paper, sodacans, glass,plastic but vast quantities of unused dispensed medicines are disposed in trash. At the same time, people who desperately need these medicines have no access due to rising cost. One of the major reason for this is the lack of awareness about reuse of previously dispensed but unused medicines. In the current economic situation, people should be educated and Govt policies/programmes should be initiated to donate dispensed but unused medicines.
