Summary
Community pharmacists provide essential home pharmaceutical care services. Specialized pharmacies are crucial for patients with high medical needs, a group expected to grow.
Area of Science:
- Pharmaceutical Care
- Health Services Research
Background:
- Community pharmacists began offering patient-visiting services in 1994 under health insurance.
- Home pharmaceutical care serves diverse patient groups, including elderly, pediatric, dementia, and palliative care patients.
Purpose of the Study:
- To clarify the profile of pharmacies specializing in home pharmaceutical care.
- To identify characteristics of pharmacies meeting the needs of home-care patients with high medical dependence.
Main Methods:
- A survey was conducted on 149 pharmacies authorized to dispense injection drugs in Tokyo.
- Data collected included patient numbers, end-of-life care patients, and medical narcotics stock.
Main Results:
- Specialized pharmacies are essential for home-care patients with high medical treatment dependence.
- Pharmacy specialization varies due to factors like owner vision, business size, and pharmacist expertise.
Conclusions:
- The demand for home pharmaceutical care from medically dependent patients is increasing.
- Evaluating pharmacies based on advanced pharmaceutical management is necessary to meet future needs.

1.1K
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.

01:22Pharmacokinetics in Geriatric Patients: Effect of Age on Drug Absorption
142
As individuals age, their body's physiology evolves, affecting drug pharmacokinetics. The most apparent changes occur in the gastrointestinal tract, where an increase in gastric pH, a delay in gastric emptying, and a reduction in gastrointestinal motility are observed. Remarkably, these changes do not substantially modify the absorption of orally administered drugs, particularly those absorbed via passive diffusion.Transdermal drug delivery emerges as a highly viable method for older adults due...
