ABSTRACT

Drug-related issues affect patients' quality of life, mortality, and morbidity. At any point during the prescription, transcription, distribution, and administration of drugs, drug-related issues might arise. Investigate the prevalence, forms, patterns, and clinical importance of drug-related issues in cardiovascular patients to enhance patient safety and treatment results. An eight-month prospective interventional study was conducted in the medical and cardiology wards of the tertiary care hospital. Drug interactions, untreated indications, and without an indication were the most often reported drug-related problems (DRPs) in inpatients, while subtherapeutic dosage and overdose were the least frequent DRPs. The results of our study indicate that the clinical chemist plays a critical role in the early detection of DRP and the risk factors associated with it, as well as in the assessment and management of any side effects associated with the use of drugs in cardiovascular patients. None of the patients who completed the questionnaire and responded said they experienced any substantial difficulties with their normal day-to-day activities, according to the study. A total of 138 clinical pharmacist interventions were suggested in this research, of which 101 were approved and 37 were refused. Of these issues, 87 were solved, leaving 51 unsolved. According to the study's conclusions, clinical pharmacy is crucial in the early detection of DRP and its associated risk factors to avoid, evaluate, and control unfavourable drug-related outcomes in cardiovascular patients.
