Abstract

Blood from donors who are or who have been on drug treatment may be hazardous to the recipient. Guidelines are proposed to increase the safety of donated blood without needless rejection of donors, based on the time that should elapse between the last dose and safe blood donation for a range of commonly used drugs.
