Pharmaceuticals enter the environment during all stages of their life cycle; manufacturing, use, and disposal, revealing gaps and inefficiencies in current pharmaceutical management. At the EU level, pharmaceuticals in the environment are mostly addressed within veterinary medicinal products legislation with minimal considerations in legislation for medicinal products for human use. Will the current European Commission (EC) publish the long awaited Strategic Approach to Pharmaceuticals in the Environment and will it include measures to ensure the sustainable and prudent management and use of pharmaceuticals?
