Intervención farmacéutica para la mejora de la adherencia terapéutica mediante la implantación de SPD en una farmacia comunitaria

Abstract

The lack of therapeutic adherence is a major global problem, because it entails a loss of benefits for pharmacotherapy and the quality of life, in addition to health, economic and social consequences. Community chemists have a very important role, since they can recognize and act, together with the patient and other health professionals, with the problems related to a lack of therapeutic adherence in an individualized and protocolized way. In the pharmaceutical care service, a lack of therapeutic adherence is frequently detected, for this reason it was thought that it would be effective to intercede with the use of a monitored dosage system (MDS) and for it to be always done in collaboration with the rest of the primary care team. MDSs are an important tool, created to improve therapeutic adherence and guarantee the efficacy and safety of established treatments.
