Results Medicines must be stowed in places that allow to have optimum conditions of temperature, light, hygiene and security, all this is needed for an adequate conservation. That is why Spanish legislation in force does not allow the use of medicines returned by patients as all of these conditions are not guaranteed.

The Study shows that 41.4% of professionals do not know the legislative frame for management of medicines collected from patients and that 82.4% states that they have collected, sometimes, medicines at their consultations.
