Abstract:

This study aimed to analyze the existing national and international scientific evidence on the reason for the stock and the way of disposing of medicines at home. A systematic review of the literature2001 to 2016 was carried out in the PUBMED, LILACS and Elsevier’s Scopus Database, using the following terms: Disposal of medicines in household, Disposal of drugs expired, Residential expired drugs, Management of expired medications in household. Thirty-three studies were ed after applying inclusion and exclusion criteria. The studies analyzed demonstrated that the main reasons for home inventory were: self-medication; guard for future use and leftoversprevious treatments. And regarding the disposal of medicines, inappropriate practices prevail, such as disposal in the common waste and sewage network. Some countries have adopted guidance programs on proper storage and disposal, however, only one study describing a free national program has been found to guide these practices. From the scientific evidence, it was verified the importance of the incentive for the elaboration and implementation of public policies aimed at the proper use and disposal of medicines at home.
