A Review of Medication Use as an Indicator of Human Health Impact in Environmentally Stressed Areas

We reviewed from literature the feasibility of medication use as an indicator of health outcomes in environmentally stressed areas, especially where a paucity of typical epidemiological and other risk-based data are encountered. The majority of studies reported were about medication use as an indica...
