We studied the effect of pharmacists drug consultation on the compliance of 239 inpatients (96 females, 143 males), who conformed to the condition of exceeding 14 days admission, being consulted over four times by pharmacists, and being able to manage the self-medication of prescribed drugs by six-objective assessment. Each assessment objective (1. setting of daily medication by self-administration, 2.medication, 3.interest in prescribed drugs, 4.understanding of prescribed drug's actions, 5.knowledge of relationship between disease and drug therapy, and 6.comprehension of adverse effects of prescibed drugs) was evaluated by three grades. The data between the initial and final of drug consultations were compared. The over-80-year-old group showed poor improvement in compliance even after drug consultation. And when patients take medication more than four times daily, the patients made more medication errors than did the others. There was an inverse relationship between compliance and the number of prescribed drugs. Significant improvements in the six objective assessments on drug therapy were observed in all other subiects at the time of discharge. These results indicated that the drug consultation by pharmacists could contribution to improving medication compliance.
