Criterios de implantación de los Sistemas Personalizados de Dosificación (SPD) y seguimiento de su adherencia en Oficina de Farmacia en Zamora de febrero a julio de 2015

Abstract

The failure or inability to comply with drug regimens is a problem with great impact on Health Systems nowadays. As a result, the General Council of Official Colleges of Pharmacists and the Council of Professional Associations of Castilla y Leon have designed a protocol of Pharmaceutical Counselling based on the preparation of personalized Medication Dispensing Systems by the community pharmacist through blister cards in which the medication is organised by days and time slots. The patients for this study were selected based on certains characteristics such as their advance age, their compliance with multiple drug regimens, lack of knowledge about their medical condition or treatment, etc. They were included in the above-mentioned program designed for the preparation of personalized Medication Dispensing Systems in a pharmacy in Zamora. This study took place during four weeks. During this time, patients went through proper follow-up procedures, evaluating their compliance to drug regimens by visualizing their medication administration at a glance. Upon completion of the study, it was concluded that 100% of the patients that took part in the program improved their compliance to drug regimens. It was also highlighted that a more helpful approach from pharmacists avoids problems related to drugs adminstration and the negative effects of medication as a result of a failure to compliance and poor use of medication.
