Patient Medication Records

This study aimed to determine the availability and usage of printed and electronic references and Patient Medication Record in community pharmacy. It was conducted for over 3 months from 15 January to 30 April 2007. Ninety-three pharmacies participated. Structured questionnaires were mailed to community pharmacies. Six weeks later a reminder was sent to all non responders, who were given another six weeks to return the completed questionnaire. Outcomes were analyzed using descriptive statistics and chi-square test of independence. Almost all the pharmacies (96.8%) have at least Monthly Index of Medical Specialties (MIMS) while 78.5% have at least MIMS ANNUAL in their stores. Only about a third (31.2%) of the pharmacies were equipped with online facilities of which the majority referred to medical websites (88.9%) with only a minority (11.1%) referring to electronic journals. More than half (59.1%) of the pharmacists kept Patient Medication Record profiles with 49.1% storing it in paper, 41.8% electronically and 9.1% in both printed and electronic versions. In general, prevalence and usage of electronic references in community pharmacies were rather low. Efforts should be increased to encourage wider usage of electronic references and Patient Medication Records in community pharmacies to facilitate pharmaceutical care.

The 1960S

Since its debut in the 1960s, the broad use and availability of benzodiazepines has mirrored the increased incidence of overdose cases. Due to its non-specic presentation, there is often a delay in diagnosis. We report a case of Benzodiazepine toxicity in a 70-year-old man who presented to us in a comatose state. He was evaluated at another hospital initially and was intubated in view of his low Glasgow Coma scale. A CT brain plain study was done suspecting a basilar artery thrombus and he was referred to us for Neuro-Interventional procedures. As radiological, laboratory and electrophysiological investigations were unremarkable a provisional diagnosis of drug intoxication was made after patient medication review and a trial of Flumazenil was given, after which the patient had improved dramatically. Flumazenil is not routinely used due to fears of withdrawal seizures and its high cost. It also has no effect on reversing sedation caused by barbiturates, ethanol, or opioids. The antidote has a favorable risk-benet ratio when dosed appropriately and can be a helpful diagnostic tool after ruling out the more common causes of acute sensorium loss as demonstrated by this case report.
