Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the use of medication pick-up lockers in the North Denmark Region, aimed at reducing the burden on hospitals by enabling outpatients to collect cost-free medicines conveniently.
- Data from March to October 2023 reveals that around 30,000 packages were delivered to these lockers, with about 1.7% returned as unused, focusing on common medications like methotrexate, adalimumab, and omalizumab.
- The research highlights the need to address potential medication waste, particularly concerning the small percentage of delivered medicines that go uncollected or are returned, indicating trends in patient medication management.
