Adverse drug events (ADE) are injuries related to the use of drugs. ADEs can include incidents such as liver failure, bleeding, or respiratory failure.
Pharmacists are crucial in reducing ADEs and can help significantly improve patient safety and outcomes. Having a pharmacist on your medical team can help improve safety through several key practices.
Reviewing medications is essential when patients have numerous prescriptions. Pharmacists are medication therapy experts and can identify when certain medications can pose a risk to the patient.
When patients fill medications from different pharmacies and receive prescriptions from various doctors, it may be challenging to keep track of the combination of drugs they are taking. Your pharmacist can provide a MTM to review all medications and over-the-counter products and identify any problems.
Pharmacists are significantly involved in patient education and counseling. Helping patients understand their medication leads to increased adherence and fewer medication errors.
Integrating pharmacists into the healthcare team will help leverage their medication expertise.
Overall, it’s essential to inform your pharmacist of any medications or supplements you are taking when filling a prescription. This may help reduce ADEs.
