We document alcohol content percentages in various medications and suggest possible alternatives as illustrative examples. Most importantly, we present a step-by-step practical framework for using National Drug Code (NDC) numbers and the DailyMed database, enabling healthcare professionals at any institution to determine medication suitability for their Muslim patients. Our guide demonstrates that while numerous medications contain ingredients that may conflict with Islamic guidelines, alternatives often exist and can be systematically identified. We advocate for a collaborative, culturally-sensitive approach to medication prescribing that involves shared decision-making, respects religious beliefs, and incorporates alternative formulations when available. By implementing the practical strategies outlined in this educational guide, healthcare providers can enhance medication adherence, strengthen patient-provider relationships, and deliver more culturally competent care to Muslim patients.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47501,"journal":{"name":"Currents in Pharmacy Teaching and Learning","volume":"17 10","pages":"Article 102429"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144549293","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An online questionnaire evaluated their perception and impressions, as well as literacy levels about ChatGPT, together with its proper applications in this professional field of study. Based on the awareness levels of ChatGPT, participants were split into two groups for comparison. It was revealed that a sizable proportion of students (62.55%) were unaware of the concepts and their use. However, students with prior experience using ChatGPT exhibited higher levels of awareness. Nonetheless, on pharmacy-related issues, only 57.7% of participants thought that ChatGPT's responses and information were either somewhat or to some extent appropriate. However, a number of participants (52.3%) had doubts and worries regarding the using ChatGPT.

This field can be defined as the study of medicinal plants and their derivatives, reflecting the historical evolution of drug use, which has transitioned from the formulation of crude herbal remedies to the sophisticated isolation and characterization of active pharmaceutical compounds in the realm of drug discovery. No scientific subject remains static and a modern and comprehensive definition of Pharmacognosy includes the analysis of biogenic or naturally derived pharmaceuticals, as well as naturally occurring poisons. Rapid advancements of analytical techniques in phytochemistry, such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry, which have greatly enhanced our ability to identify and quantify bioactive compounds and made Pharmacognostical research very informative and interesting.
