Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To explore the mode of manipulation in pharmacist-managed clinics(PMC) for pediatric, standardize service content.
METHODS Established the service model and working system for manipulation in PMC for pediatric. Collecting cases of children who visited the manipulation in PMC from November 2023 to October 2024, analyzed the types, dosage forms, specifications, quantity of manipulated drugs and the number of visits for PMC.
RESULTS There were a total of 269 registered visits to the PMC(21 yuan per visit). There were a total of 24 types of manipulated drugs, with the top 3 drugs being ursodeoxycholic acid(32.66%), metoprolol(12.79%), and clonazepam(10.10%). The most common dosage forms and formulations were tablets(90.57%) and liposolubility drugs(94.95%), respectively. The specifications of manipulated drugs mainly ranged from 1/5 to 1/10(45.12%), and the number of manipulated drugs in a single visit was mainly one(91.08%). Half of the pediatric patients had visited the manipulation in PMC more than once.
CONCLUSION Manipulation are extremely common and in high demand in pediatric clinical practice. Standardizing the service content and process of manipulation of PMC for pediatric is of great significance for improving the safety, effectiveness, and compliance of pediatric medication, reducing drug waste and adverse reaction rates.
