Stop Prescribing, Stop Testing, Address Drug Waste
• Educate harmful effects of medicines, like we do with class A drugs
• Provide classes on disposing off medication
• Repackage unused drugs & send to impoverished nations
• Separate pharma waste to ensure it is incinerated
• Have volunteers collect unwanted medicine from peoples’ homes
Perfectly healthy people are being turned into patients.
Excess unnecessary prescriptions are ending up in our sewage. The money wasted on this could pay annual salaries for up to 20,000 nurses in the UK.
In 2016, I developed severe chemical imbalance leading to a health crisis. GP prescribed, prescription after prescription. I didn't need most of these medications.
The GP’s get paid for every prescription they handout.

I went to return the medications but the pharmacist didn’t accept. Having lived in 3rd world countries, I’m aware of peoples' needs there.

My timely decisions saved my life.
Let’s save our people!
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We understand that you'd like the Government to take action on prescription medicines that people don't use, but it's not clear exactly what you'd like the Government to do.
You could start a petition asking the Government to redistribute unrequired medical supplies to prevent waste.
