Ramadan begins at the end of the month, meaning that millions will shortly commence a period of fasting. Fasting involves refraining from eating, drinking, and taking oral medications during daylight hours. While it is a spiritual practice, fasting can present challenges for individuals with medical conditions, particularly those requiring regular medication.
With the holy month around the corner, the Pharmacy Show is delighted to announce the free-to-attend webinar workshop ‘An introduction to safe prescribing during Ramadan’, led by Dr Samira Osman, Senior Clinical Pharmacist and Ramadan Education Lead for British Islamic Medical Association.
