Pharmacists, being compensated through the new dispensing fee, are required to educate patients on their adhesion to the use of prescribed drugs, and to inventory the levels of leftover drugs in outpatients. Recently, Fukuoka City Pharmaceutical Association started a campaign for regulating leftover drugs (Setsuyaku Bag Campaign). Thirty-one pharmacies joined the campaign. Pharmacists distributed convenience bags, called ‘SETSUYAKU-BAG.’ The patients put their leftover drugs in the bags and brought them to community pharmacies. The pharmacists inventoried the returned drugs and reported their results to the doctors. The doctors adjusted the prescriptions accordingly. We counted and analyzed old and new inventories. The number of leftover drugs was 252, for a total value was ¥839655. Cost of leftover drug prescriptions could be reduced by ¥702695, and the value of drugs thrown away was ¥94801. In total, we could reduce the amount of leftover drugs by 83.7%. The cost of leftover drug for one dose package (ODP) is higher than that for non-ODP. However, there were no significant differences in results per age, sex, number and kinds of drugs, prescription days and premium contribution rate. These results suggest that prescription regulation by inventory of leftover drugs in community pharmacies could significantly reduce overall medical expenses. Further studies are necessary in order to account for patients’ health, and to establish more efficient patient education to raise outpatients’ adherence to the new programs.

交付された処方せんは,比較的病院の近くにあり患者の利便性が高い,門前薬局に持ち込まれることが多い.近年,厚生労働省は,かかりつけ薬局の利用を推進している.そこで本研究は,保険薬局はどうあるべきか,患者は何を基準に保険薬局を選択しているのかを明らかにするために,アンケート調査を実施した.その結果,保険薬局を選ぶ基準として,「場所(立地)」と回答した方が最も多い結果となったことより,かかりつけ薬局の利用が推進されているものの,いまだ病院に近いという立地条件を保険薬局の選択基準としている方が多いと考えられる.また,かかりつけ薬局に求めるものを調査したところ,「対応が親切,丁寧である」という意見が多かった.これらの結果より,患者から選ばれるかかりつけ薬局になるためには,医薬品,健康などに関する知識は当然のことながら,患者ニーズに沿った相談に応じることが重要になると考えられる.
