ABSTRACT

Doctors are responsible for the correct use and administration of drugs so they have to be also responsible to teach the patient the correct disposal of the expired medicine or not used one. Knowing the correct disposal contributes to have less contaminated water and soil, and is the responsibility of the doctors to acquire these knowledges so they can teach the patient. Another important subject is selling medication unlawful, a common practice due to incorrect waste management that also concerns doctors.
