Method: A descriptive study mapping drug-related problems in self-medication registered at the counter at a selected number of Danish community pharmacies. Purpose: To quantify drug-related problems in self-medication (use of over-the-counter medicine) identified by community pharmacies in Denmark and to document the interventions by pharmacy staff in relation to the identified drug-related problems. Only a few studies have evaluated drug-related problems with over-the-counter medicine and the role of community pharmacies in this.
A broad range of studies, mainly in the area of prescription-only medicines, supports this fact.
Background: Drug-related problems are known to be a major problem associated with pharmacotherapy.
