Medication usage counseling

Patients, after consulting a doctor, receive a prescription for treatment and are instructed on how to use the medication safely and effectively at home. However, during medication use, some questions may arise regarding the drug, such as: purpose, usage, dosage, timing, drug interactions, use for pregnant or breastfeeding women, or suspected adverse reactions, … which cause many patients to feel confused and anxious about following the prescription, leading to non‑adherence.

Therefore, the Clinical Pharmacy Information Team of the University Medical and Pharmacy Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City, with a team of experienced pharmacists, will provide medication counseling to patients, helping them understand the purpose, usage, dosage, … of each medication they are taking. At the same time, they will advise and monitor adverse drug reactions at home, helping patients feel confident in using the medication to achieve the best possible therapeutic outcome.
For counseling and services, patients in need are kindly requested to contact the consultation unit (during business hours) at (028) 3952 5295.
