Prescription, Nonprescription and Orphan Drugs

Prescription, Nonprescription and Orphan Drugs

Prescription drugs require a prescription from a medical practitioner and can only be obtained from a pharmacy. They have many applications, including treating pain, anxiety, and hypertension.
The misuse and addiction to prescription drugs is a growing problem that can affect people of all age groups, specifically teenagers. This can happen when prescription medications are used in ways not intended by the prescriber, such as taking someone else's prescription or using medication for...

Drug Delivery: Miscellaneous Routes

Drug Delivery: Miscellaneous Routes

Drug delivery methods like oral inhalation, nasal sprays, transdermal patches, eye drops, intravitreal injection, and rectal administration provide localized effects with reduced toxicity.
Oral inhalation and nasal sprays swiftly transfer drugs across the respiratory epithelium's mucosal layer. Inhaled glucocorticoids and bronchodilators directly target lung conditions such as asthma, while fluticasone nasal spray mitigates allergic rhinitis.
Transdermal patches transport drugs...

Standard Precaution

Standard Precaution

Standard precautions are the minimum infection control safeguards used while caring for all patients, irrespective of their disease condition. They help prevent the spread of common infectious microorganisms to healthcare workers, patients, and visitors in all healthcare settings.
Hand hygiene is the most crucial means to prevent the transmission of disease. Employers are legally required to provide their workers with personal protective equipment (PPE) to minimize exposure or contact with...

Compartment Models: Single-Compartment Model

Compartment Models: Single-Compartment Model

The single-compartment model serves as a simplified representation of the human body. This model assumes that the body functions as a single, well-mixed open compartment. When a drug is administered intravenously, it enters the body and quickly distributes uniformly. The drug then undergoes biotransformation and elimination, ultimately leaving the body. The volume of this compartment is referred to as the apparent volume of distribution into which the drug can uniformly distribute. In this...

Area of Science:

Pharmacy Practice
Medication Access

Background:

Medicine supply shortages pose significant challenges for patient treatment.
Exceptional dispensing, defined as a pharmacist's ability to provide the most appropriate medication during emergencies, aims to ensure patient access and appropriate use.
The Spanish Society of Family and Community Pharmacy (SEFAC) is investigating these issues.

Discussion:

A pilot study was conducted in November 2021 across two autonomous communities to explore medication access barriers.
This research serves as a precursor to the larger "RISK FACTORS THAT HINDER ACCESS TO MEDICATIONS IN THE DISPENSING IN THE COMMUNITY PHARMACY" (FRAMEFAC) study.
Findings will inform SEFAC's proposal for implementing exceptional dispensing strategies.

Key Insights:

The study identified critical factors hindering medication access in community pharmacies.
Understanding these barriers is crucial for developing effective solutions.
Exceptional dispensing models are being explored to mitigate supply chain disruptions.

Outlook:

Results from the FRAMEFAC study will be presented at the community pharmacists' congress in May 2024.
SEFAC plans to propose concrete solutions based on exceptional dispensing.
The goal is to enhance medication availability and patient adherence in community pharmacy settings.
