  • 항간에서 유행하는 여러 가지 무분별한 민간요법, 자기진단에 의한 약국에서의 직접 매약행위, 그리고 스스로의 처방에 의한 특수한식이 요법이나, 비생리적인 무리한 운동요법 등은 모두 뇌졸중을 악화시키는 요인이 되기 쉬우므로 삼가야 하겠다.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 약국을 방문하는 만성질환을 가진 노인 환자의 건강보조식품 복용여부와 그 종류 및 복용 양상을 알아보고 개별 환자의 처방의약품 목록과 함께 분석하여 발생 가능한 건강보조식품과 처방의약품의 상호작용을 평가하는 데 있다. 본 연구는 지역 약국을 방문한 만 65세 이상의 만성질환을 가진 노인환자를 대상으로 하였다. 먼저, 만성질환 노인환자의 건강보조식품 복용실태 파악을 위해, 설문 조사를 실시하였다. 처방의약품과 건강보조식품 간의 상호작용 여부 및 정도를 파악하기 위한 문헌검색은 2011년 4월까지 출간된 논문을 대상으로 PubMed를 통하여 이루어졌으며, 설문에 응답한 환자의 처방의약품 목록을 검토하여, 현재 동시 복용중인 건강보조식품과 처방의약품이 상호작용을 유발할 가능성이 있는지 파악하였다. 설문에 응답한 만성질환 노인환자 65명(45.5%)이 건강보조식품을 최근 6개월간 꾸준히 복용하고 있었으며 그 중 홍삼이 가장 많은 비율로 34명(31.8%)이 복용 중 이었다. 설문에 응답한 환자의 처방의약품 목록과 복용 중인 건강보조식품 목록을 분석한 결과, 건강보조식품을 복용 중이라고 응답한 65명 중 13명(20.0%)의 환자가 현재 복용하는 처방의약품과 잠재적 (potential) 또는 가능한 (possible) 상호작용이 있는 건강 보조식품을 동시에 복용하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 건강보조식품과 처방의약품간의 상호작용에 대한 적극적인 복약지도와 실태 조사를 통해 만성질환 노인 환자에서의 상호작용 발생을 예방함으로써 보다 안전하고 효과적인 의약품 사용이 가능해 질 것으로 사료된다.

Methods : 10 different samples of O.M.Cs and 10 different samples of Pharmacy were investigated by culture method and non-culture method based on the 9th edition of microbial examination released by Korea Food & Drug Administration. Results : The total microbial count among each 10 samples were detected within the limit suggested by WHO. 2 samples of O.M.C.s and 1 samples of Pharmacy exceeded WHO's limit in fungi count. No samples exceeded WHO's limit in bacteria count. Most bacteria founded in samples were the phylum of Firmicutes and Proteobacteria which are common in soil by non-culture method. Conclusion : Further study should be followed to set up proper microbial limit of herbal materials including pill types.

  • This study aimed to identify priorities in community pharmacist's roles in aged society using Analytic Hierarchy Process. We developed a survey questionnaire for AHP, which consisted of 19 pharmacist's roles selected from the FIP/WHO guidelines. The AHP survey questionnaire was self-administered by 127 pharmacists. The results showed that pharmacists put medication therapy management at the highest priority, preparation, dispense, distribution of medication at the second priority, and efficient healthcare system at the lowest priority. Among the 19 roles, new roles such as monitoring of medication therapy results, team-based health care, and transitions of care obtained relatively high priority.

  • In order to treat a disease, it is necessary to take the medication on time, but many people often violate or forget the time they take the medicine. Applications are emerging to solve these problems using information technology. However, for existing applications, it is difficult to use because it provides only a notification functions, user interface is inconvenient, and photo registration of the medication is impossible. To solve these problems, the study developed a smart medicine management application that allows users to set up their taking routines, check if they are taking them, search hospitals and pharmacies, and attach images of medicines they are taking. Through this appliaction, it is possible to reduce the frequency of forgetting the time taken and to take accurate medication by checking the actual image. It also supports the setting of a taking routine to support multiple medications with different taking cycles. It can also provide information about hospital and pharmacies close to their current location to increase access to hospital and pharmacies.

  • Recently the telemedicine platform firms which have been temporarily permitted since COVID-19 outbreak have increasingly provided online prescription drugs delivery, causing concerns among incumbent providers of medicine, some of whom began to take aggressive actions again them. In this study, using game theoretic market entry - deterrence model, we show that although the incumbent medicine provider can effectively deter entry by the telemedicine platform firms by its preemptive action, accommodation could be a optimal action when telemedicine platform firms already have penetrated the market with their being permitted to do business due to the COVID-19. However, for the incumbent to cooperate for the successful change in the retail market for medicines, policies like placing a ceiling on the maximum number of taking prescriptions by the pharmacists a day in the telemedince platform network, providing favorable exposure of community pharmacists on the telemedicine platform user interface, and allowing community pharmacies to participate as shareholders of the telemedicine platform firms in its initial public opening of capital, are suggested.

  • A household survey was conducted to compare the patterns of morbidity and medical care utilization between medical aid beneficiaries and medical insurance beneficiaries. The study population included 285 medical aid beneficiaries that were completely surveyed and 386 medical insurance benficiaries selected by simple random sampling from a Dong(Township) in Taegu. Well-trained surveyers mainly interviewed housewives with a structured questionnaire. The morbidity rates of acute illness during the 15-day period, were 63 per 1,000 medical aid beneficiaries and 62 per 1,000 medical insurance beneficiaries. The rates for chronic illness were 123 per 1,000 medical aid beneficiaries and 73 per 1,000 medical insurance beneficiaries. The most common type of acute illness in medical aid and medical insurance beneficiaries was respiratory disease. In medical aid beneficiaries, musculoskeletal disease was most common, but in medical insurance beneficiaries, gastrointestinal disease was most common. The mean duration of acute illness of medical aid beneficiaries was 3.8 days and that of medical insurance beneficiaries was 6.8 days. During the one year period, mean duration of medical aid beneficiaries chronic illnesses was 11.5 months which was almost twice as long compared to medical insurance beneficiaries. Pharmacy was most preferrable facility among the acute illness patient in medical aid beneficiaries, but acute cases of medical insurance beneficiaries visited the clinic most commonly. Chronic cases of both groups visited the clinic most frequently. There were some findings suggesting that much unmet need existed among the medical aid beneficiaries. In acute cases, the average number of days of medical aid users utilized medical facilities was less than medical insurance users. On the other hand, the length of medical care utilization of chronic cases was reversed. Geographical accessibility was the most important factors in utilization of medical facilities. Almost half of the study population answered the questions about source of funds on medical security correctly. Most respondents considered that the objective of medical security was afford ability. The chief complaint on hospital utilization was the complicated administrative procedures. These findings suggest that there were some problems in the medical aid system, especially in the referral system.
