[Effect of pharmacist's instruction on the treatment of asthmatics with inhaled steroid].
Arerugī = [Allergy] 1998 April
Pharmacist's instruction is provided to asthmatic patients who received an inhaled steroid in Hamamatsu University Hospital. We studied influences of pharmacist's instruction on the repeutic effects of an inhaled steroid, beclomethasone dipropionate (BDP). In 29 patients who had been treated with inhaled BDP under the physician's instruction for more than 3 months, we examined drug compliance, correctness of inhalation procedure and treatment score, symptom score, peak expiratory flow (PEF) values, and compared these before and after the instruction. The instruction was repeatedly provided at an interval of about one month. Patients who followed the indicated regimen were 55.2 and 93.1% before and after the instruction, respectively. An appropriate inhalation maneuver was respectively. An appropriate inhalation maneuver was performed in 24.1 and 93.1% of patients before and after the instruction, respectively. PEF values increased by 12.9 +/- 9.3% (mean +/- standard deviation, p < 0.01) after the instruction. In conclusion, pharmacist's repeated instruction enhanced the therapeutic effects of inhaled BDP in patients with asthma.
