Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
Newer drugs are reaching developing countries in greater number and more quickly. So the speed of drug discovery may leads to less information regarding the newer drugs. The unavailable data about drugs leads to developing drug related problems. New interactions between medications are increasingly reported. The pharmacists are considered as medicine expertise and should know the up to date and detailed knowledge about drugs which are arrived newly in the market. This will help the pharmacists to reduce or manage the drug interaction. Drug interactions are complex and chiefly unpredictable. A known interaction may not occur in every individual. This can be depends on several factors include: genes, physiology, age, life style, drug dose, duration of combined therapy etc. The pharmacists plays important role in healthcare team and promote quality of life of patient by communicating with physician and patients. The aim of this paper is to highlight the role of pharmacists in management of drug interactions. Keywords:Drug Interaction, pharmacists
