ABSTRACT

Hospital and Pharmacy Practices: Many people right from lay common man to medical and healthcare fraternity are not aware that the health and medical care system is incomplete without “pharmacy practice' service. The issues like prescription and medication analysis, prescription audit, rational use of drugs (RUD), patient counseling for simplifying medication regimen and to reinforce the regimen and to allay any apprehension on any possible side effects that could be anticipated and prescription economics and discussion on prescription with co-professionals is somehow not palatable to our medical fraternity or it could be also that we pharmacists have failed to grow competently to support the clinicians and also to induce confidence in them that we pharmacists are of some worth. Yet, it goes without saying that 'pharmacy practice' provides checks and balances to ensure patient's safety.
