- Pharmacy plays a significant role in patient care through various ways: managing prescribed medicines, chronic conditions, common ailments, and promoting healthy lifestyles.
- Management of prescribed medicines includes drug development, dispensing, and counselling.
- Pharmacist's interventions in the healthcare system ensure rational use of medicines and effective disease management.
- Identifying patients with specific needs is crucial to offer customized pharmacy services, considering factors such as access to facilities, compliance aids, social behavior, and drug treatment.
- Special patient groups, such as those suffering from acute myocardial infarction, chronic pain, mental health problems, learning difficulties, and extremes of age, require tailored care.
- Cost-effective patient care is an essential aspect of pharmacy practice, involving the consideration of pharmacoeconomic aspects, such as value for money and cost-effectiveness.
