Research Article: Ecopharmacology: Knowledge, Attitude, and Medication Disposal Practice Among Pharmacy Students
Abstract:
Drugs are generally recalcitrant molecules; they can persist in different environmental compartments and always negatively interact with the environment. This has led to harmful effects on aquatic species and the ecosystem.– More so, it may even endanger human health.– Therefore, pharmaceuticals are increasingly recognized as chemicals of emerging concern (CECs)., The entry of these so-called CECs into the environment by any route and at any concentration that disturbs the balance of the ecology (ecosystem) is described by ecopharmacology (ecosystem + pharmacology).–
