With the growing rate of international travel, the College of Pharmacy has launched an awareness initiative titled “Drug Toxicity and Pharmaceutical Awareness" aimed at educating travelers about the legal and health-related aspects of transporting medications and chemical substances across borders.
The initiative highlights the importance of complying with pharmaceutical regulations, as some medications commonly used in one country may be restricted or prohibited in another. It seeks to reduce legal issues and health risks faced by travelers due to unawareness.
Impact of the Initiative:
- Improved awareness among travelers regarding medication-related laws and regulations.
- Reduced risk of legal penalties or detainment due to restricted drug possession.
- Enhanced traveler safety through proper medication use in unfamiliar environments.
- Practical guidance on how to legally and safely store and transport medications.
