How to Manage Drug Interactions in Clinical Settings (2)

The Reports, their Problems, and the Concepts in Patients with Special Background

Abstract

The first academic subcommittee of the Japanese Society of Pharmaceutical Health Care and Sciences has a plan to create a guide on how to manage drug interactions in clinical settings. This review describes the information that forms the basis of the guide. This article, part (2), summarizes the practice reports on managing drug interactions in clinical settings, their problems, and the proper concepts of drug interactions in patients with special background. Each pharmacist is expected to enhance the literacy of drug interactions and manage them adequately, which will lead to the improvement of clinical outcomes.
