Pharmaceutical Awareness for a Safe and Healthy Fast
On the occasion of the holy month of Ramadan, the College of Pharmacy is organizing an educational event entitled “Medications for the Fasting Individual… Proper Timing for a Safe Fast.” This initiative reflects the College’s commitment to promoting health literacy and empowering the community to ensure the optimal and safe use of medications during the fasting period. The event aims to highlight best practices regarding the timing of medication doses and, when necessary, appropriate adjustments in alignment with fasting and non-fasting hours. It also emphasizes the importance of consulting a physician or pharmacist before making any changes to a prescribed therapeutic regimen, particularly for patients with chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, and respiratory disorders. In addition, the event will feature educational and interactive booths, a vital signs assessment corner, and activities designed for children, underscoring the College’s dedication to advancing medication awareness and fostering the concept of safe fasting grounded in sound scientific and professional principles.
