Abstract:
We examined the methods for recovering residual anticancer drugs in medical settings to prevent health hazards caused by exposure to anticancer drugs. Presently, the lactose hydrate recovery rates(Lac, an alternative sample for an anticancer drug)were determined using 2 drug recovery methods that are based on a procedure manual(procedure manual method) and smart remote support(remote support method). Using the procedure manual method, 5 healthcare workers recovered Lac after receiving a detailed face-to-face methodological explanation. Using the remote support method, 3 healthcare workers recovered Lac regarded by an instructor waiting at a remote site without using a procedure manual. As a result, the Lac recovery rates were>80% for both methods; however, they showed the need for improvement. Eventually, the issues found presently will be resolved to improve the working environments of healthcare workers, caregivers, and medical service providers.

Enhanced Elimination of Poison
Antidotes serve a crucial role in counteracting the effects of poison by inhibiting enzymes responsible for producing harmful drug metabolites. In some cases, these toxic metabolites can be neutralized by endogenous cosubstrates, which are maintained at specific concentrations to prevent interaction with cellular macromolecules and subsequent cell death.
