Role of Retail Pharmacist in Antimicrobial Stewardship

Author(s) Dr. Nirlepkumar Patel
Country United States
Abstract Retail pharmacists are relatively unambiguous and central in the global struggle against antimicrobial resistance (AMR) through antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) initiatives. Due to being involved in the nursing care of patients and being responsible for medication administration, they play a key role in promoting the proper use of antimicrobials. However, several barriers limit their effective integration into AMS initiatives; these include education, regulations and restrictions, and poor access to technology. Feasibility and opportunities for retail pharmacists in AMS are investigated in this article while focusing on goals to address these barriers. They include incorporating AMS topics into the pharmacy curriculum, providing workshops and online certification programs, and restricting OTC antibiotic sales. Improved methods like the EHR, Mobile AMS Application, and Artificial Intelligence can add to the help pharmacists receive when making decisions and evaluating antimicrobials. Such approaches as healthcare workers' engagement with other activities, such as health promotion and stakeholder meetings, enhance AMS activities. Also, patient actualization through perceptive counseling and decision-sharing promotes adherence to therapy regimens. Specifically, the system should provide funding and resources for the training of AMS and the community to increase the roles of pharmacists in AMS. With these challenges considered and tailored intervention, retail pharmacists can play a crucial role in preventing AMR, improving patients’ health, and cautiously threatening public health.
