With pharmacists now actively involved in chemotherapy for outpatients at Atsumi Hospital, it has become possible for us to help ensure that pharmacotherapy is conducted properly. To make sure that antineoplastic agents are used properly, we changed the system so that these drugs were dispensed individually to patients rather than collectively for all patients as they had been before. As a result, we could monitor individual prescriptions (by height, weight, and body surface area and drug regimen, dosage, interval, and route) and prevent overdosing. In addition, we have been able to provide a pharmaceutical counseling service when adverse effects, such as delayed emesis, occur at the site of chemotherapy (outpatient drip infusion room) which has improved patients' quality of life. We therefore consider that pharmacists can play an important role in chemotherapy for outpatients.
