Abstract

Objective: To identify drug-related problems in outpatients with type 2 diabetes treated at 108 Military Central Hospital. Subject and method: A descriptive, retrospective study based on data from electronic medical records of outpatients with type 2 diabetes from 01/5/2023 to 30/6/2023. Result: 854 DRPs in 620 patients were identified, of which DRPs related to antidiabetic drugs 63.6%, DRPs related to statin 31.2%, and antihypertensive drugs 5.2%. No DRP was detected in the prescription for antiplatelet drugs. Conclusion: Patients with type 2 diabetes with characteristics of long-term duration of treatment, many chronic comorbidities, and polypharmacy which potentiate a high risk of DRPs. It is necessary to implement clinical pharmacy interventions to reduce DRPs and therefore contribute to improve the quality of treatment in diabetes type 2 patients.
