This study investigated whether the review of systems (ROS), an evaluation method that covers all organ systems, improves the quality of pharmaceutical care provided in intensive care units (ICUs). We retrospectively examined patients from the respiratory and emergency intensive care departments admitted to the ICU of our hospital in 2012 (before the introduction of ROS; non-ROS group, n = 93) and in 2014 (after the introduction of ROS; ROS group, n = 65). The number of pharmaceutical interventions and adverse drug events prevented by pharmacists per 1000 patient days were higher in the ROS group (265.7 and 57.8 for the ROS group and 190.8 and 39.9 for the non-ROS group). Pharmacists' proposals were accepted at a significantly higher rate in the ROS group than in the non-ROS group (89.5% vs 72.3%, P < 0.01), and the accepted proposals in the ROS group were implemented for a wider range of organ systems. These results indicate that the ROS was helpful in terms of identifying the patients' clinical manifestations and evaluating the adequacy and safety of medication administered in the ICU, which resulted in improved and precise proposals by pharmacists. Moreover, the ROS approach introduced in this study was considered to be suitable for pharmaceutical activities in the ICU and to contribute to improving the quality of pharmaceutical care.

We conducted a survey on the immunization requirements of the students in the fourth year of the 4-year-course departments of pharmacy in Japan by using a self-administered questionnaire, which was mailed to the directors of the institutes. Of the 61 departments invited, 54 responded. Program of seroprevalence examination or vaccination was not in place against measles, rubella, mumps and varicella, and hepatitis B in 31.5% (17/54), 53.7% (29/54), 57.4% (31/54), and 68.5% (37/54), respectively. Surveillance of the history of infection and vaccination was carried out in 21 departments, but only 5 departments insisted on documented evidence of immunity. Students who were proven to be susceptible to these diseases were required to receive immunization in most departments that performed seroprevalence examination. Seroprevalence examination was carried out in colleges in 83.3% (25/30), and the expenses were born by department in 70.0% (21/30). On the other hand, vaccination was carried out in colleges in 30.0% (9/30), and the expenses were born by department in 6.7% (2/30). Of the 54 departments, 29, 11, and 3 departments executed these programs in the 3rd year, 4th year, and at the time of admission, respectively. Influenza vaccination during the year of clinical clerkship and tuberculosis skin test was required in 20.4% (11/54) and 37.0% (20/54), respectively; these were carried out in the colleges in 8 and 19 departments and the expenses were born by department in 1 and 18 departments, respectively. Countermeasures against these infectious diseases were found to be insufficient in most departments of pharmacy.

Objective: In the instructions for package inserts (PI) of prescription drugs revised in June 2017, the section “persons with reproductive potential” was established under “precautions concerning patients with specific backgrounds.” The description rules associated with contraceptive duration were modified in these. In this study, we investigated descriptions of contraceptive duration in PI that were prepared based on the revised instructions, interview forms (IF), and other proper use materials (PM).Methods: We collected PI, IF, and PM of prescription drugs containing a new active ingredient approved from April 2017 to March 2022 for which the PI were prepared based on the revised instructions and investigated descriptions of PI, contraceptive duration, and its evidence in each information material.Results: Of the 181 drugs studied, 43.1 and 12.7% required females and males to use contraception during the period of drug consumption, respectively. Among these, the ratio of drugs that had descriptions of contraceptive duration were 15.4 and 0% for females and males at PI, respectively; 51.3 and 39.1% for female sand males at IF, respectively. Anticancer drugstended to describe contraceptive duration in the PM rather than PI or IF. For some drugs, there was no description of contraceptive duration in any of the materials. Contraceptive durations ranged from the period of administration of that drug to over a year for females and approximately one week to six months for males. The reasons for these contraceptive durations were diverse.Conclusion: Contraceptive information in the PI based on revised instructions were not sufficient for use by healthcare workers, even when the IF and PM were confirmed. These results suggest that there is a need for standardizing the descriptions, types of materials to be described, and choice of evidence for contraceptive duration.

Several issues concerning medicines remain unclear, including the availability of known, but not easily recognizable information. This review evaluates the mechanisms of side effects and the various risk indications included in package inserts. The results can be summarized as follows. 1) Short-term exposure to gatifloxacin significantly induced insulin secretion and increased the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration of islet cells by augmenting extracellular Ca2+ influx and its release from the endoplasmic reticulum. Alternatively, there was a decline in the cellular insulin level and reactivity to sulfonylurea after prolonged exposure. The insulin depletion was greater than that produced by other fluoroquinolones. 2) The elution of di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) from the infusion set could be associated with the solubilizers in the injection medicines. The package inserts of several products containing polysorbate or ethanol had no warning about DEHP. Although there was a slight correlation between polysorbate content and descriptions on package inserts, the use of DEHP-containing devices was prohibited for some products, even with limited amounts of polysorbate. Therefore, the package insert statements should be reviewed to reflect appropriately the extent of DEHP elution. 3) Risk management plan consists of strategies to minimize the potential risks of medicines. One approach could be to introduce reminders on package inserts; however, of 268 potential risks associated with 81 products, 56 were not mentioned in package inserts. Because most postmarketing pharmacovigilance plans depend on spontaneous reporting by healthcare personnel, the descriptions on package inserts should be reexamined.
