慢性疾患薬を使用する市民の残薬状況と災害時用自己備蓄の実態調査

抄録

A questionnaire survey was conducted on citizens taking medication for chronic diseases (type 2 diabetes, hypertension, asthma, atopic dermatitis). As a result, 52.7% had residual drugs. Patients who use GPs or pharmacies tend to self-stockpile drugs in preparation for a disaster. These patients may have previously been informed about the need of self-stockpiling drugs in case of emergency. Those who responded that they were at risk of a secondary disaster tended to self-stockpile drugs in preparation for long-term evacuation. Although the risk of self-stockpiling of drugs by patients with chronic illness may not be high, it is desirable for pharmacies to be more actively involved to ensure safe self-stockpiling.
