Access to controlled Medication

[Guest guest]

Dear NetRUM Colleagues, Greetings from Afghanistan, Access to controlled Medication: Before we should touch the access to controlled medication, let’s see, who is responsible to control medication, as it is apparent that it is the responsibility of pharmacists to control medication by screening the medication of an individual patient. Many computerized drug interaction screening programs are available, but they all have their drawbacks. Screening without a computerized program is possible, but very time consuming. In contrast to daily living at

home, the patient in a hospital setting is carefully monitored and relevant biochemical parameters are regularly checked. Many potential drug interactions are countered immediately by changing (dosage of) medication. The role of the pharmacist is an important one, especially with regard to medication, that is not regularly used on a ward. Potential drug interactions should be predicted and dealt with by close teamwork of physician and pharmacist at the moment medication is prescribed. Access to controlled medication is the major problem of developing countries; Afghanistan is also faced with this problem, the existence of unregulated markets where substandard and sometimes even lethal medication is sold to unsuspecting customers. Unregulated markets are often supplied with stolen and diverted drugs, illicitly manufactured pharmaceuticals.
