    Community pharmacists expressed concerns regarding the current Patient Package Insert (PPI) program for estrogen and oral contraceptives. Most believe pharmacists should distribute PPIs but physicians should decide on patient eligibility, citing patient comprehension issues.

    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacy Practice
    • Drug Information Dissemination
    • Patient Education

    Background:

    • Patient Package Inserts (PPIs) are mandated by the FDA for estrogen and oral contraceptives.
    • Effective communication of PPI information to patients is crucial for medication adherence and safety.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess community pharmacists' perceptions of PPIs for estrogen and oral contraceptives.
    • To understand pharmacists' views on responsibility for PPI distribution and patient counseling.

    Main Methods:

    • A questionnaire was distributed to 105 community pharmacists in a midwestern city.
    • Seventy questionnaires were returned, yielding a 67% response rate.

    Main Results:

    • A majority of pharmacists felt they should distribute PPIs, but physicians should determine patient eligibility.

  • Pharmacists believed patient information should be verbal and include a written summary.
  • Pharmacists perceived that patients do not read or understand PPIs.

    • Conclusions:

    • The study suggests retail pharmacists have reservations about the current FDA-mandated PPI program.
    • Pharmacist-patient communication strategies for PPIs may require improvement to enhance understanding.
