Drug related problems. Classification. Prevention methods

Abstract

The article describes the term “Drug related problems” and the role of its individual components. DRPs can occur at all treatment stages and can be the result of both doctor mistakes in choosing a drug and its dose, indications and contraindications, and inadequate interaction between different doctors. Treatment management errors can play a significant role in DRPs. The patient himself can play a certain role due to insufficient therapy adherence, knowledge about disease, and the medications prescribed to him.
