Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The United States continues to grapple with healthcare access disparities, particularly in underserved regions. Regulatory pharmacists, with their unique expertise in pharmaceutical laws, drug development, and safety regulations, can play a vital role in drug repurposing efforts. This paper proposes a framework for utilising regulatory pharmacist expertise to develop drug repurposing strategies to meet unmet medical needs in underserved areas. We explore the regulatory hurdles, the necessity for collaborative efforts between healthcare professionals, and the potential for drug repurposing to improve healthcare outcomes in rural and socioeconomically disadvantaged communities.
