Howard University Generation Rx

Howard University Generation Rx Student pharmacists use Generation Rx resources to educate students, faculty and staff and the communities near their universities.

Pharmacists and student pharmacists have embraced Generation Rx across the country through the American Pharmacists Association, their state pharmacy associations, or in their individual practices. By educating their patients about potential consequences, they help dispel critical misperceptions about safety and legality when misusing prescription drugs. By providing instruction on proper storage and disposal, they help prevent medications from falling into the hands of those who would misuse them. By participating in community coalitions, they lend their expertise to the important work being done to develop holistic, environmental strategies for prevention. By using Generation Rx resources to give presentations in local schools and community settings, they spread the word about this serious problem and provide guidance on safe medication-taking practices. Generation Rx was born within the pharmacy community and constitutes a call to action for pharmacists and student pharmacists to lead the charge in this life-saving battle. Please use these resources to help your patients and others in your community, from the very young to the very old, use medicines safely and avoid the potentially tragic consequences of their misuse.
