| Abstrakt: |
Medication represents an aspect of healthcare with significant opportunity for reduction of environmental impact. Prescribing practitioners play an important role in mitigating this impact through various interventions. This includes minimizing unnecessary medication usage and waste, as well as providing concrete recommendations to diminish the direct and indirect environmental effects of prescribed medications. Unfortunately, the current lack of comprehensive information hinders the selection of the treatment alternatives with the lowest environmental impact. Therefore, further research and the promotion of transparency are essential to make such informed choices feasible in the future. |
