MANAGEMENT OF GREEN PHARMACEUTICALS

Green Pharmacy represents a holistic approach to healthcare that emphasizes the importance of controlling the environmental contamination caused by pharmaceuticals. Also, Green Pharmacy prevents environmental contamination due to the API (active pharmaceutical ingredient) present in the medicines. Contamination of the environment by Active pharmaceutical ingredients can occur through various pathways, such as improper disposal, wastewater from pharmaceutical manufacturing industries, and even through excretion by patients. These contaminants adversely affect aquatic ecosystems and potentially impact human health if they enter the food chain supply by any means. Proper disposal and wastewater treatment are crucial to mitigate this environmental risk. This abstract explores the potential benefits of the Green Pharmacy, including reduced adverse effects, sustainability, and cultural preservation. It also addresses the challenges associated with standardization, quality control, and regulatory approval. Additionally, it also provides some new ideas about how to stop or prevent the uncontrolled contamination of API in the environment due to the improper disposal of drugs from pharmaceutical manufacturing industries, hospitals, and also from houses. The Green pharmacy concept encourages a shift towards a more sustainable and nature-centric approach to healthcare, aligning with the growing global interest in holistic well-being and environmental conservation.
