Development of drug use instructional cards for compounded formulations as a complementary patient education tool
Abstract
Objective: This paper describes the development, implementation, and preliminary evaluation of drug therapy instructional cards as a complementary tool in the correct use of compounded medication formulations.
Methods: Patients’ complaint formularies (PCF) and the compounding laboratory registry review of the most frequently dispensed drugs were used for the material development. The efficacy was assessed through the flow and the registered information of PCFs.
Results: Our findings suggest that the DUIC may be useful for complementary education for adults on PC consultations and in normal drug dispensing, and point a way to save time when providing telepharmacy services.
Conclusions: The material was effective for pharmacoterapeutic patient education, and was useful for training non pharmacists co-workers on basic topics related to medication usage.
