Reseaches on Pharmacotherapy (Part I)

Collection of the Dispensed-Prescriptions and Consideration to the Prescriptions for So-called “Anti-Dementia Drugs”

Abstract

Many dispensed prescriptions are stocked in individial hospitals and pharmacies. If these prescriptions are collected at a center from various areas through an interne system, a large database for prescriptions can be developed. Using this database, pharmacy students, medical students, pharmacists and medical doctors will thereby be able to determine the best use of such medicines.
In order to develop a large database of prescriptions which can be used for various purposes, we made a small database, as a first step, on a personal computer by collecting dispensed prescriptions provided from a few pharmacies. From this database, general data related to patients and the medicines used was collected and, as a model example, the use of so-called “anti-dementia drugs” was examined.
