Results showed that some studies handled community pharmacists' roles, and some talked about PhC interventions. However, some studies reviewed the use of medicines, adherence, and follow-up, while other groups were on counseling, patient education, and health promotion. Pharmacists integrated some studies concerning diagnosis and disease screening into community pharmacy services. Besides these studies, there were studies on system design and installation of PhC service models. Most of the identified research results showed pharmacist-led intervention benefits for patients. These benefits include reduced DRPs, clinical, economical, humane, education and knowledge, disease prevention and immunization, identification of practice process problems, and the need for current practice redesigning.

The present study aimed to evaluate statistically potentially drug interactions in a locally circumscribed, random sample population. Patients and Methods In a random sample population of 264 patients taking medications, we performed analyses with the drug information system AiDKlinik®. Statistical analysis was performed using SAS version 9.4. Results Statistically potentially drug interactions were recorded in 82/264 (31.1%) subjects, including 39/82 (47.56%) men, and 43/82 (52.43%) women (χ2= 0.081; p = 0.776). The average number of potential possible interactions detected per person was 1.60 ± 1.21. The regression model with the variables age, body-mass-index and number of long-term-medications shows a significant association between the number of long-term medications taken and the number of moderately severe and severe reactions to drug interactions (F(3.239) = 28.67, p < 0.0001; (t(239) 8.28; p < 0.0001)).
