Medications not to be refrigerated.

A survey of selected drug labelers was conducted to generate a list of drug products that should not be refrigerated. Letters asking for information on products adversely affected by refrigeration were mailed to 109 drug product labelers. A second letter was sent to nonresponders and to labelers providing incomplete information. Responses were received from 97 labelers, 43 of whom stated that none of their products would be harmed by refrigeration. Eleven labelers were unable to provide conclusive data or a list of specific drug products that refrigeration would harm. Lists of drug products not to be refrigerated were provided by 43 labelers, some including explanations of the adverse effects of refrigeration. Pharmacists may find the survey's data useful in their patient education activities.

Harvey A. K. Whitney Lecture: Patient accountability--pharmacists' future.

A philosophy of pharmacy practice is expressed, centering on service and accountability to the patient. To attain the goal of comprehensive pharmaceutical services, one must consider the factors of the environment and the characteristics of individual pharmacists. Aspects of the environment include support by the hospital administration and medical staff, and team cooperation among pharmacists and among all health professionals. Individual motivation to perform must be based on service to the patient. It is suggested that economic justification of pharmaceutical services should be a major goal of pharmacy organizations. The problem of employment opportunities for young pharmacists is discussed. The future of pharmacy practice is bright if pharmacists center their activity around the patient and become accountable for patient services.
