Since the 1970s, drugs unused by French households have been collected for humanitarian aid. In 1993, the Cyclamed system was created by pharmacists in order to manage and collect unused drugs. ⋯ In France this practice has been forbidden since the 1st of January 2009. Associations that still desire to send unused drugs to developing countries must develop other approaches, such as essential generic medicines or emergency health kits.
