It ensures medication safety, proper storage, and appropriate administration, reducing errors and misuse. The policy outlines responsibilities for healthcare providers and patients, including instructions on taking medications correctly, managing side effects, and reporting issues. It also covers policies for handling prescriptions, preventing abuse, and maintaining compliance with legal and safety standards. Overall, it aims to promote effective, safe, and responsible medication use to improve health outcomes.
