Global Medicines Use and Reuse Survey
03 September 2019
We want to learn about the different ways people obtain medicines for their own use at home. We also want to know what people think about the quality of these medicines and if they would ever reuse medicines. The types of medicines we are talking about are tablets or capsules used for treating whole-body conditions such as pain, infections, heart disease, and depression or anxiety. We are interested in the views of ordinary people as well as health professionals living anywhere in the world.
