Be Clear About Your Medicines Campaign (EDM291)

Be Clear About Your Medicines Campaign

EDM number 291 in 2000-01, proposed by Jenny Tonge on 05/02/2001.

That this House notes that half of those over 70 years of age take three or more prescription medicines; further notes that only one in four people aged over 65 years ask their pharmacist for advice about medicine and over one in five cannot name a single drug commonly used in over-the-counter medicines; recognises the dangers of mixing medicines which include overdose and the blocking of effects of other medicines; welcomes the Be Clear About Your Medicines campaign launched by the Doctor Patient Partnership, Age Concern, the Royal Pharmaceutical Society and the National Pharmaceutical Association; and calls on the Government to support projects raising awareness of the issues around medicine taking.

This motion has been signed by a total of 68 MPs.
