Anti-microbial drugs are used for both the treatment and prevention of microbial infections. Though they are used under the guidelines issued by various academic societies, physicians play an active role in the selection of anti-microbial drugs and determination of their dosages. Pharmacists should therefore actively participate in the design of prescriptions for antimicrobial drugs. We studied the effect of pharmacists' interventions in the use of injective anti-microbial drugs by comparing their use in in-patients before and after intervention. When pharmacists intervened, no aggravation of patients' conditions or anti-microbial resistance occurred, leading to a significant decrease in anti-microbial drug usage and duration of their administration. During the time of our study, our hospital's Infectious Committee established a system for the appropriate use of anti-microbial drugs suggesting that the interventions by pharmacists in the treatment of patients had been seen as important.
