Background Medication counselling is an important activity that improves patient therapeutic outcomes. After this activity has been carried out, patients should be satisfied with counselling, and possess adequate knowledge about their medications. Objectives To describe outpatient/caregiver medication knowledge and satisfaction with medication counselling at the main outpatient pharmacies of eight public secondary and tertiary hospitals located in two states in Northwestern Nigeria. Methods Exit interviews were conducted from December 2019 to March 2020 with randomly sampled patients/caregivers who had just been dispensed one or more prescription medications from the main pharmacies of the hospitals. The questionnaire used contained 31 questions in three sections. The first section collected demographic information. The second section assessed respondents’ experiences and overall satisfaction with the counselling they had received. The last section evaluated respondents’ knowledge of one randomly selected prescription medication that had been dispensed to them. Data collected were coded and analyzed to generate descriptive statistics. To explore associations between respondent characteristics and overall satisfaction, non-parametric tests were used, and statistical significance set at p<0.05. Results A total of 684 patients/caregivers were interviewed. Majority of respondents agreed that the time spent (97.1%) and quantity of information (99.1%) provided during counselling was adequate. However, over 60% of them also agreed that dispensers did not assess their understanding of information provided or invite them to ask questions. Despite this, their average overall satisfaction with counselling on a 10-point scale was 8.6 ± 1.6. Over 90% of them also correctly identified the routes and frequency of administration of the prescribed medication selected for the knowledge assessment. Although, more than 60% of respondents did not know the duration of therapy or names of these medications. Conclusion Respondents’ satisfaction with medication counselling was fairly high even though they did not seem to know much about their medication.

“…9 A study carried out in Spain determined that more than half of the patients (53.2%) did not have enough knowledge to ensure a correct antibiotic use. 10 In addition, the complacent attitude of the prescriber towards the patient, the absence of rapid sensitivity tests to antibiotics contribute to the inappropriate use of them. 11,12 All data highlight the urgent need for informative campaigns and monitoring the correct use of antibiotics.…”

Introduction The WHO considered antibiotic resistance as 1 of the 10 greatest threats to global health in 2019. The inappropriate and indiscriminate use of antibiotics, together with the lack of new therapeutic alternatives, may eradicate their effectiveness in the closest future. Objective The general objective is to analyze the different causes attributable to patients, providers and pharmacists that could be drivers of irrational use of antibiotics, and responsible for the appearance of bacterial resistance, in community pharmacies. To this end, the different processes or indicators were studied: patients’ requests of antibiotics at the pharmacy, their degree of adherence, satisfaction with the prescribed treatment and antibiotics’ surplus recycling. Methods This study was observational, descriptive, and cross-sectional, carried out in 2 pharmacy offices, including 333 participants. At the time of dispensing, first phase, surveys to collect patients’, providers’ and pharmacists’ data were carried out over the counter. The second phase, with the aim of checking adherence, degree of satisfaction and recycling. Results There were 333 requests for antibiotic regardless prescription availability, 17% of the patients requested an antibiotic without having one. 38% of patients did not have full adherence to antibiotics. Exploring non-adherence reasons, 24% forgot to take the treatment, 2% experienced adverse effects; 8% improved infection symptoms and 21% had problems to follow schedule. Regarding the recycling habits, 57% of patients had leftover treatments at home, but only 11% recycled it. 10% of medical prescriptions were forced by the patient, and significant gender differences were observed in adherence and knowledge of treatment. Conclusion The results of this study suggested that there may be a significant level of antibiotic inappropriate use locally, potentially related to patients’ sex, finding significant deficiencies in prescription by doctors, in the dispensing act carried out in community pharmacies, and finally in patient compliance with treatment.

“…Existen especialidades farmacéuticas que pueden ser dispensadas en las oficinas de farmacia sin receta médica y que son objeto teórico de automedicación (Awad et Aboud, 2015;Bernabé et al, 2015). Pero el problema reside en el consumo de los medicamentos que precisan una receta médica, generalmente por su reutilización tras una prescripción médica anterior o adquiridos directamente en la oficina de farmacia.…”
