Objective: We analyzed the effects of the number of prescriptions on the number of drug stocks in community pharmacies by administering questionnaires to community pharmacies in Shiga Prefecture, Japan (N=159).Methords: We identified a significant positive correlation between drug stocks and their amount, and a significant negative correlation between inventory turnover and the concentration ratio of prescriptions issued by any medical institutions.  Therefore, this implies that the amount of drug stocks influenced value, and a lower ratio of prescriptions issued by neighboring medical institutions increased inventory turnover.  Furthermore, multi-regression analyses on the amount of drug stocks and the number of prescriptions from neighboring medical institutions and other medical institutions were performed.  The results are as follows.Results: The number of stock drugs is much less influenced by the number of the prescription of vicinity medical institutions than the other medical institutions.  On the other hands, the money amount of stock is more influenced by the number of the prescription of vicinity medical institutions than the other medical institutions.Conclusions: We thus identified the relation between the number of prescriptions from neighboring or other medical institutions and the number of drug stocks and their amount.  These findings will be made available to community pharmacies that want to prescriptions issued by not only the neighboring medical institutions but others as well.

Introduction: This study aimed to determine the trends in the use of medicines that can affect the recognition function of patients aged ≧70 years. Since 2015 when the “Safe Drug Treatment Guidelines for the Elderly” was revised, these medicines are dispensed at a community pharmacy located in a satellite city. Methods: We compared the dispensing results from 2014 to 2015-2019 and investigated the ratio of prescriptions containing the medicines that can affect the recognition function using the clinical department and medicine type. Results: Prescriptions containing medicines that can affect recognition function have been on a downward trend since 2015. During this period, the number of medicines per prescription did not decrease, and the medicines that can affect recognition function were replaced with other medicines. On the other hand, no decrease in the number of medicines that can affect recognition function was observed in internal medicine. In medicine type, the ratio of benzodiazepines drugs decreased; however, it increased again in 2019. Conclusion: There was a decreasing trend in the use of medicines that can affect recognition function of the elderly in departments other than internal medicine after 2015.
