This is a promise made by Emmanuel Macron in 2017, when he was a candidate.Pharmacists are not obliged to apply it.It was a promise by candidate Emmanuel Macron to fight against the waste and misuse of drugs.Buried since an experiment launched by Marisol Touraine in 2014, the unit dispensation had made its return through the window in early 2020, thanks to the anti-waste law.The French throw away an average of 1.5 kilos of medicines per year.Two years later, a decree published on February 2 in the "Official Journal" endorses the delivery capsule by capsule for certain products.The text lays down the procedures for using unit dispensing by the community pharmacist.In practice, it defines the specific methods of packaging, labelling, patient information and traceability of the drugs thus delivered to the unit.Medications initially packaged in blister or sachet-dose form are concerned.A decree will frame the list of products concerned, a priori antibiotics.This measure is not mandatory: it is at the discretion of the professionals.But they may not be very many to do so.Indeed, selling by unit takes time because you have to open the box, find new packaging, label it and add instructions.Pharmacists say they do not have enough time to carry out all these operations.A unit drug sales trial conducted in 2014 yielded good results, according to an Inserm study.This saved almost 10% of tablets and patients followed their treatment better.I already have an accountI do not have an accountWould you like to receive a notification when a user replies to your comment?
