Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the pharmaceutical interventions performed during the analysis of medical prescriptions and the representativeness of the pharmaceutical professional in the prevention of medication related errors. The data were collected from the records available in the Clinical Pharmacist Interventions and Actions table, used routinely, over a period of 8 months. The variables were: dosage, route of administration, pharmaceutical form, inappropriate drug, dose inconsistencies and unnecessary blood glucose tests. 933 interventions were reported, 263 referring to the posology, 139 the route of administration, 47 the pharmaceutical form, 116 the inappropriate drug, 310 the dose and 58 to unnecessary blood glucose tests, demonstrating the importance of the clinical pharmacist in the prevention of errors. The safety of the patient depends on the active participation of the pharmacist, as these have contributed greatly in minimizing damages that could endanger the lives of inpatients.
