ABSTRACT:
The profession of pharmacy and the notion of pharmaceutical care are quickly evolving around the world. In addition, the role of the pharmacist in promoting the logical and cautious use of medicine is becoming more important due to their technical and professional understanding. It is clearly known that safe and effective treatment is received by patients who are adequately informed about medications and how to take them. Therapeutic pharmacists interact with patients on a frequent basis and assist with clinical treatments, in addition to the numerous technical activities performed behind the counter. It is not enough for a medicine kit to simply be handed over to the patient or their representative; the correct drug must also be handed over to the correct person with the correct information. The act of assisting a client is seen from a unique perspective, which might help the client in focusing on feelings, experiences, or behavior, with the goal of achieving positive change and establishing a trusting connection. Confidentiality is considered essential for successful counseling.
