Repurposing Drugs

Sarah Best

14th June 2019

Here is an interesting short video from The Economist that could be used for the Health unit.

The video discusses the use of drug therapy to treat cancer, focusing on evidence that supports the use of 'repurposing' existing drugs such as aspirin and statins.

(Repurposing drugs is when a drug that is currently used for other medical treatments is used in a different clinical setting).
