Abstract:
Communication between pharmacist and patient is a component of the
therapeutic act that takes place within the pharmacy. This is a method by
which the pharmacist obtains access to the patient’s medical information,
to important information, in this context, from the past, from the present
and about the medication prescribed by the doctor to be administered in
the future. This practice cannot be excluded from the therapeutic exercise,
so it should necessarily obey bioethical principles in the narrow sense. An
easy access to medical services within the pharmacy gives the pharmacist
the opportunity to interact with patients more often than medical workers in clinics or hospitals. Apart from aiming to avoid medical errors in the prescription of drugs or from the patient’s preferences towards certain
OTC medication, the pharmacist has the opportunity to get involved in the
prevention of medical problems or the post-treatment of members in the
community.Non-maleficence, beneficence, justice, autonomy, all bioethical
principles have aspects that are present in the activity of the pharmacist
within the community pharmacy and deserve to be fully researched.
