Abstract: | Inappropriate use of asthma inhalers can lead to increased hospitalizations, reduced quality of life (QOL), loss of productivity and increased health related costs. Pharmacist-led interventions have shown an improvement of inhaler technique and use. The following cases describe opportunities for clinical pharmacist-led interventions to resolve problems associated with inhaler use identified from an ongoing study in renal clinic, Teaching Hospital, Anuradhapura. |
