We investigated the effectiveness of pharmacist interventions in determining formulas of injectable medicines by examining 887 inquiries concerning such medicines made between April 2002 and March 2005. The number of inquiries increased after the seasonal rotation of physicians and residents, this showing the importance of providing information and guidance to physicians and residents concerning injectable medicines. Inquiries concerning dose and interactions among drugs accounted for two-thirds of total number of inquiries, suggesting that it is important for pharmacists to intervene in determining formulas when necessary. The inquiries avoided about 3,240,000 yen of unnecessary hospital expenditure, and their number decreased annually. These results were achieved through the provision of information to doctors by pharmacists. Thus pharmacist inquiries concerning formulas of injectable medicines were seen to be effective in increasing patient safety and raising efficiency in hospital management.
