A cross-sectional, interventional study was conducted on 1000 retail medical stores/pharmacies selected conveniently from seven divisions of Sindh.

All the particpants were males, and majority of them were in the age group of 26-35 years (379 - 37.9%) followed by the age group of 18-25 years (260 - 26.0%), 36-45 years (248 - 24.8%), and > 45 years (113 - 11.3%). The majority of the participants were owners (647 - 64.7%). Knowledge of the participants before and after education was for generic drugs (718 - 71.8% vs. 794 - 85.3%), proper storage temperature of vaccine/insulin (458 - 45.8% vs. 572 - 61.4%), and counseling of patients for dose (236 - 23.6% vs. 379 - 40.7%). The unavailability of qualified pharmacists is also one of the major problems that results in the failure of the provision of pharmaceutical care to patients.
