[Academic detailing for best practice and pharmacists' role]
1Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Suzuka University of Medical Science.
Summary
Academic detailing provides unbiased, evidence-based medication information to clinicians, improving patient care. This educational outreach, pioneered in the US, is supported by public funding and expert pharmacists.
Area of Science:
- Pharmacology
- Medical Education
- Health Services Research
Context:
- Clinicians require accurate prescription drug information for safe practice.
- Gathering comprehensive drug data is labor-intensive and challenging.
- Commercial information sources may lead to inappropriate prescribing.
Purpose:
- To introduce and advocate for Academic Detailing as a method for disseminating unbiased, evidence-based medication information.
- To highlight the role of Academic Detailing in improving clinical decision-making and patient care.
- To explore the potential for implementing Academic Detailing in Japan, leveraging trained pharmacists.
Summary:
- Academic Detailing is an interactive educational outreach program for physicians.
- It delivers unbiased, non-commercial, evidence-based information on medications and therapeutics.
- Clinical pharmacists serve as "Detailers," enhancing medical quality in Europe and America.
Impact:
- Improves the appropriate use of prescription drugs in clinical practice.
- Mitigates risks associated with commercially biased medical information.
- Enhances patient care through informed therapeutic decisions.
- Supports the development of specialized pharmacist roles in medical education.

4.7K
Understanding drugs, drug products, and their performance in pharmaceutical science is pivotal. Drugs, whether simple molecules or complex compounds, are designed to interact with the body's biological systems to diagnose, treat, or prevent diseases. Drug products include various delivery systems such as tablets, capsules, injections, and inhalers. The performance of these drug products is gauged by their ability to deliver the active ingredient to the desired site of action at the...

01:28Dosage Regimens: Designs and Approaches
600
Designing a dosage regimen, which refers to the manner of drug administration, is a complex process involving the selection of drug dose, route, and frequency. This process is underpinned by pharmacokinetic parameters derived from tests and population averages. These parameters are then tailored to patient-specific variables such as diagnosis, demographics, and allergy status. Once therapy commences, therapeutic response monitoring is critical and achieved through clinical and physical...

01:26Pharmaceutical Poisoning: Potential Scenarios
116
Pharmaceutical poisoning can occur through various channels, impacting an estimated 2 million hospitalized patients in the U.S. annually with serious adverse drug responses. These scenarios encompass both therapeutic uses, such as drug toxicity, where even standard dosages can lead to severe central nervous system depression, and non-therapeutic exposures, including accidental ingestion by children, and environmental and occupational exposures.Unintentional poisonings often involve exploratory...

Drugs, the chemical agents used in diagnosing, treating, or preventing diseases, undergo a four-phase process of development: pharmaceutic, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and therapeutic.
The pharmaceutical phase focuses on leveraging the physicochemical properties of the drug to design and manufacture an effective product. Variants include orally administered tablets or capsules, topical creams or ointments, and parenteral-delivery solutions or emulsions.

01:24Dosage Regimen: Individualization
398
Individualization in dosing regimens is the customization of medication doses for individual patients. Its necessity arises from the goal of maximizing therapeutic benefits while minimizing risks. This approach is pivotal because human responses to drugs can vary widely; what is effective for one person may be inadequate or excessive for another. Interpatient (intersubject) variability refers to differences in drug responses between individuals, while intrapatient (intrasubject) variability...
