Abstract

Expired chemicals in chemical medicines represent a big problem in chemical medicines and we must find ways to treat expired medicines. It proposes a new technology for reuse instead of burying it with ordinary waste or instead of burning it in the ovens of the soil company, The side effects of an expired medicine (its chemical substances are out of date and ineffective in healing) are any unwanted effects of the medicine. Although many new drugs target the disease more precisely than their predecessors, none of them have hit the target precisely so far. The use of most drugs causes several effects, but only one effect—a therapeutic—is usually required to treat the disorder. However, when using an over-the-counter drug that contains an antihistamine, drowsiness is considered a therapeutic effect. The goal of drug recycling is to take care of the environment. This is achieved by preventing drug residues from being dumped in public garbage and ending up polluting the soil and water. Another advantage of pharmaceutical recycling is that it helps save energy by recycling packaging and using its waste to produce energy. Now that you know how to dispose of expired medicines, whenever you check your medicine cabinet, go to the pharmacy to deposit it. The fake drug market has recently rebounded, with businesses promoting illegal drug recycling, which poses a threat to the health of millions of Egyptians, with the increasing quantities of expired drugs in pharmacies and the inability of some of them to dispose of them. Although the exact number of side effects of drugs is uncertain, they constitute a major and often preventable public health problem. Many new drugs target the disease more precisely than their predecessors

Keywords: Expired drugs, chemical drugs, recycling, thermal effect on compounds, organic compounds
