Increasing medical expenses have become a serious social problem so it is necessary for all medical staff, including hospital pharmacists, to conduct medical treatment from the viewpoint of economy. In this regard, we estimated the economic effect of checking prescriptions in outpatient antineoplastic chemotherapy between June 2004 and May 2005. Seventy three of 81 pharmacist inquiries resulted in prescription changes Twenty inquiries concerning changes to more appropriate drugs achieved cost savings of 454,633 yen and 19 inquiries, which probably prevented serious adverse events, were considered to achieve savings of 2,161,820 yen based on an evaluation using the Diagnosis Procedure Combination (DPC). These results suggest that pharmacists make a significant contribution to controlling medical expenses in outpatient antineoplastic chemotherapy as well as to making it more effective and safer.
