[Pharmaceutical analysis and validation of hospital prescriptions, a 5-year study].

Background: Analysis and validation of hospital prescriptions by the pharmacy department, although mandatory since 1991, appears relatively uncommon. Little is known of the nature and frequency of the actions taken by clinical pharmacists during this process.

Objective: To describe the nature and frequency of pharmaceutical interventions in a large university hospital.

[Evaluation of drug therapy knowledge in liver transplant patients after pharmacy counseling].

The analysis of the literature demonstrated that pharmacy counselling influenced patient outcome after transplantation. This was the reason we established pharmacy consultation in 1999. The aim of this study was to determine patient knowledge before and after pharmacy counselling.

[Clinical trials and outpatient dispensation: the pharmaceutical counseling place].

Drug dispensations in clinical trials essentially concern outpatients (90%), and several mistakes and bad uses have been noted. The aim of this work is to set up a pharmaceutical counselling for outpatients in clinical trials. The bibliographic research on this subject did not learn us about similar experiences, but several references helped us to select the support of information: personal meeting between patient and pharmacist to introduce a written leaflet.
