Often cancer patients do not use up their medication. In a study in the Netherlands, it has been found that redispensing such unused oral cancer medication can be achieved. The medication is fitted with a sensor to guarantee that the returned medication was kept within the required temperature range. This costs on average 37 euros per patient but saves 613 euros. In total many millions can be saved and the environmental impact of the medication can be reduced.
