About
In this webinar, Dr Samira Osman, Senior Clinical Pharmacist and Ramadan Education Lead for British Islamic Medical Association, will share her expertise on the top 5 Do's and Don'ts for safe prescribing during Ramadan.

Ramadan is a holy month observed by Muslims worldwide, during which fasting from dawn (Suhoor) until sunset (Iftar) is a key act of worship. Fasting involves refraining from eating, drinking, and taking oral medications during daylight hours. While it is a spiritual practice, fasting can present challenges for individuals with medical conditions, particularly those requiring regular medication.

Safe prescribing during Ramadan requires healthcare professionals to adapt treatments to accommodate fasting practices whilst maintaining patient safety and therapeutic effectiveness. By understanding the principles of fasting, its potential impact on health, and the importance of tailored care, prescribers can support patients in managing their conditions effectively during this month.
