It is crucial to avoid self-medication in order to combat antimicrobial resistance. This research need has been addressed within 4 scientific projects with the following aims: P1: We examined knowledge, attitude and practices of antibiotic use in 3 Asian countries and estimated the frequency and reasons for self- medication. P2: This study aimed to evaluate the extent of delay in diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis in Uzbekistan and identify associated risk factors. P3: To evaluate knowledge of antibiotics, race, gender and age as independent risk factors for self-medication. P4: The aim of this study was to assess the attitudes of community pharmacists regarding antibiotic use...

The starting point was to compile the current knowledge on the hospital drug formulary usage. The questionnaire based on the found data was designed to obtain the information on drug formulary system usage in the particular hospital. Then the questionnaire was sent to various Czech hospitals; at the same time, the questionnaire (translated into English) was sent to a German university hospital. By analyzing the obtained data a summary on up-to-date state of hospital drug formulary usage in the Czech Republic was produced. The principal result is that out of thirteen hospitals that sent the required information back, three...

Pharmaceutical Care-Pharmaceutical Services and the European Surrounding Karageorgiou E., Kolář J. Department of Social and Clinical Pharmacy, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové, Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic e-mail: karageoe@faf.cuni.cz The political line of the health systems in EU is patients oriented and demands increased rates of training and well understanding of pharmaceutical services and pharmaceutical care, either in hospital pharmacies or in community pharmacies. Almost half of the annual pharmaceutical expenses accrued by the so called expensive drugs special category. Almost half of the annual turnover of community pharmacies is of the OTCs and the negative list of medicines. So examine the aspects of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) within deepened economic crisis in Greece in order to find professional solutions for the near future as well as by means of survival. We deal with European surrounding and the present situation in basic education and continual training of community pharmacies in Greece taking into account the assumption that community pharmacies are part of the primary health care. We trace the real needs of well-trained community pharmacists to improve value for both the benefit of patients and the Health Care System. It is the outcome of collaboration...
