Objective: For effective use of over-the-counter (OTC) drugs that are provided as relief supplies during a disaster, we aimed to develop a list of OTC drugs that can be used during a disaster.Methods: We obtained information about OTC drugs useful during a disaster by examining results of previous studies and lists of drugs used during a disaster.  We analyzed this information with the expert pharmacist of disaster support and established a rationale for our list and developed “the List of Useful OTC Drugs During a Disaster” and “the Information Card on Useful OTC Drugs During a Disaster.”Results: We developed our list of OTC drugs based on the following parameters: (1) while people with severe disorders (e.g. renal failure) are treated by medical teams, those with minor physical conditions are treated using OTC drugs and (2) those OTC drugs that can be used as substitutes for prescription drugs were preferably selected.  The List of Useful OTC Drugs ()—During a Disaster (containing 56 items) was developed for use mainly by medical professionals.  Further, pharmacists from disaster-relief medical teams may not always be available in disaster-stricken areas; therefore, the Information Card on Useful OTC Drugs During a Disaster was developed to enable disaster victims to independently make a certain level of decision.  The information card contained pictograms to call the attention of the disaster victims.Conclusion: Our results can provide a common tool for drug suppliers, medical professionals engaging in relief works in disaster-stricken areas, and disaster victims.

Objective: The dispensing fee revision of April in 2016 made a review of the assessment of inquiries about prescriptions.  The requirement was added by articles that seemed to be pharmaceutically necessary, showing an increase of responsibility for pharmacists.  Based on this, we performed a discussion while collecting the cases of inquiries about prescriptions.Method: Among the inquiries about prescriptions performed at Jinjo Pharmacy for 4 months starting from April in 2016, we selected 83 cases where a prescription was changed by the pharmacist’s recommendation, based on pharmaceutical information such as drug duplication or drug interaction and confirmation of leftover medicine.  Then, we compared them with the study of inquiries about prescriptions performed by the Japan Pharmaceutical Association in 2015.Result/Consideration: Inquiries about dose were the leading content, followed by those about duplication with other drugs of same indications and appropriateness of dose considering the adjustment of number of days due to residual drug, which showed the importance of medicinal history and prescription records.  It is considered necessary to renew the contents of the prescription record properly, based on the information acquired, while at the same time changing the pharmaceutical history based on those records.  It is thought that an inquiry about prescriptions will be performed appropriately by making a judgment based on such information. In order to do that, updated knowledge about medicine and updated information about drugs is necessary.  In comparison of the two studies, both showed that the drug information on “safety” and “dose and dose regimen” accounted for a large part of inquiries.  Further consideration on them will be necessary.

Objective: Recently, since usage of the kampo-medicines has changed from conventional usage, it is possible that the tendency of adverse reaction also changes.  Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) discloses information reported by Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Safety Information Reporting System.  In this study, we analyzed adverse drug events of kampo-medicines using Japanese Adverse Drug Event Report (JADER) database of PMDA.  We also investigated what adverse drug events are likely to be occurred by kampo-medicines and what kampo-medicine is likely to cause a particular adverse drug event.Methods: We focused on reports referring to suspected drugs for kampo-medicines from JADER database of PMDA for about nine years from April 2004 to February 2013.  We analyzed kampo-medicines, organs, and adverse drug events based on the number of reports.Results and Conclusion: We found 1,958 reports on adverse drug events for kampo-medicines.  The largest number of reports for kampo-medicines was on Shakuyakukanzoto, followed in order by Bofutsushosan, Saireito and Yokukansan.  The breakdown of each organ of adverse drug events reported was 34% for hepatobiliary system disorders, followed in order by 26% for respiratory, thoracic and mediastinal disorders, and 9% for metabolism and nutrition disorders.  A total of the above adverse drug events accounts for 70% of all adverse drug events.  The largest number of adverse drug events reported was 406 cases for interstitial lung disease, followed in order by 294 cases for liver disorder, 260 cases for hepatic dysfunction, 165 cases for hypokalemia, and 102 cases for pseudoaldosteronism.  There are many reports about pseudoaldosteronism of Yokukansan regardless of containing only 1.5 g ricorice per day.  As for cardiac disorders of Yokukansan, we need to pay attention to information in the future.

Community pharmacists can provide effective pharmaceutical care by questioning the physicians about their prescriptions. The regulatory authority (Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare or the like) has been issuing instructions/advice to health insurance-covered pharmacies about the nature of questions to be asked to physicians under the national health insurance system. However, this practice has been facing similar kind of problems almost every year. To identify the reasons for repetition of the problems and facilitate proper application of drug therapy at hospitals, we recently examined the nature of questions asked to physicians by conducting a survey of 165 health insurance-covered pharmacies belonging to 8 district branches of the Japan Pharmaceutical Association. When the pharmacists were asked to express their view whether each of the 18 sample questions included in the past surveys was actually necessary, the most frequent answer from the respondents (n=1980) was “neutral” (42.9%), followed by “unnecessary” (29.0%) and “necessary” (26.6%). Further, 55.5% respondents answered that it is necessary to refer to publications of the concerned fields (guidelines, etc.) when questioning the prescriptions. However, the responses about the possible reasons for judging the necessity of the questions suggested that sometimes the pharmacists failed to understand the details of such publications. The results from this study suggest that a high percentage of community pharmacists believed that there was little need to ask questions about prescriptions if the suggestions made by the regulatory authority about the relevant questions were taken into account. Further, our study findings suggested that pharmacists working at clinics cannot present a clear-cut rationale for their judgment about the necessity of asking questions about prescriptions under the current circumstances where sufficient information collection and the evaluation of need for asking questions about prescriptions are not possible.

This study examined the impact of pharmaceutical inquiries regarding prescriptions on drug costs by surveying the actual condition of inquiries at 13 pharmacies. The study also investigated the significance of inquiries from a medical economics perspective by calculating the medical cost savings realized by preventing adverse drug reactions (ADRs). As a result, the total change in drug costs for the 13 pharmacies after pharmaceutical inquiries represented an increase of ¥9,018/month. However, upon recalculating the cost of drugs by assuming that those with an “Incomplete entry in the prescription (compared with previous prescription, etc.)” should in fact have been prescribed, and excluding them, the total drug costs for the 13 pharmacies is decreased to ¥154,743/month, translating to a cost-savings of ¥7.2/prescription. The study then undertook a comprehensive assessment based on the Diagnosis Procedure Combination (DPC) system to determine the total medical cost-savings for 5 patients in whom ADRs could have occurred if the prescriptions had not been modified as a result of pharmaceutical inquiries. The obtained figure of ¥1,188,830 suggests that pharmaceutical inquiries contribute to reduced medical costs. The findings of this study indicate that pharmaceutical inquiries regarding prescriptions by staff pharmacists not only ensure the proper delivery of drug therapy to patients, but are also effective from a medical economics perspective.

Polystyrene sulfonate drugs (PSS) are likely to adsorb coadministered drugs through ionic and hydrophobic interactions because of their chemical structures. Nine drugs frequently dispensed at our 3 pharmacies to administer with PSS concurrently were selected and examined for their adsorption in vitro to Kalimate® powder in pH 6.8.Cationic drugs in the solution, amlodipine besylate and dilazep hydrochloride hydrate were adsorbed almost totally, while anionic drugs, aspirin, furosemide and losartan potassium were only adsorbed in 0-15%. Non-ionic drugs, allopurinol, nifedipine and prednisolone were adsorbed to different extents, 9, 59 and 84%, respectively in proportion to their hydrophobicity (XLogP3). These data clearly indicate that cationic drugs and highly hydrophobic non-ionic drugs are susceptible to be adsorbed by PSS.The dissolution test of Adalat® L at pH 6.8, pH 4.5 and pH 1.2 in the presence of Argamate® Jelly showed that release of nifedipine was apparently depressed markedly at any pH.We propose that a description directing attention to the interaction with a wide range of drugs is added in the package inserts of PSS to avoid the occurrence of drug interactions.

Objective: It has been recognized that most medical institutions preferred the printed medium for their information sheets for patient education of inhaler usage. However, some questions have arisen. In a case where patients are not sufficiently informed of drug administration guidance due to limited information with only pictures and text, they might not be able to obtain a proper understanding. Contrarily, it is assumed that video medium, with audio and visual elements, is a format for education conveying a larger amount of information. We conducted comparative research regarding patient’s degree of understanding of inhalation guidance, comparing two groups of print- and video-medium-based instructions for inhaler usage and examined how effective two types of media explanations were on patients.Methods: Research participants were thirty persons visiting Jinjo Pharmacy, who were randomly assigned to the print medium group and the video medium group. After one group read and saw an explanation sheet of an inhaler where the maker wrote inhalation instructions and the other group watched an instruction video, the two groups practiced inhaler usage. Evaluation was performed with specified items and comprehensive assessment, and in addition, the time required for inhalation was measured.Results: Score of the evaluation score was statistically significantly higher in the video medium group than in the print medium group in score of specified items and score of comprehensive assessment, and was also significantly shorter in the operation time of the inhaler.Conclusion: This study clarified that the video medium group had fewer improper inhalation occurrences and shorter operation time and, therefore, showed the effectiveness of the video medium. It is recommended that the video medium should be actively utilized,which could improve patient medication adherence. Accessibility is required for patient education to achieve inhaler techniques by watching video-based instruction.
