Safe drug (medical device) – a journey to the user

Abstract

The text considers the safety of the medicine, that is, the medical product, throughout its entire journey from the manufacturer to the end user. It is emphasized that safety depends not only on the active substance and the correct dose, but also on the prescribed conditions of storage, transport and handling. The authors warn that any deviation in the distribution chain can endanger the patient's health and that the route of the drug must be clearly defined and strictly controlled.
