Pharmaceutical care and clinical monitoring of the allergic patient: a case report
Abstract
Objective: This paper aimed to verify the impact of the clinical monitoring of an allergic patient associated to Pharmaceutical Care (PC) in his quality of life.
Methodology: The patient was assessed through respiratory flux evolution, skin-prick test, blood count and nasal fluid analysis associated to the St. George Hospital questionnaire about respiratory diseases and a clinical interview. A symptoms chart was used for patient’s self-management. Domiciliary visits were made for reviewing compliance.
Results: Specific interventions were used for providing effective pharmacotherapy. The St. George Hospital questionnaire score of impacts decreased 76% from the first to the last consultation. The patient had an improvement of 59% and 50% on expiratory and inspiratory fluxes rate, respectively.
Conclusions: A positive prognostic was seen, suggesting that the methodology can be used for allergic adult patients PC services.
