The need for carrying out pharmaceutical counselling in the drugs circulation system

The informational and legal status of pharmaceutical consulting is explored in various studies and is enshrined in several regulatory documents. Informing patients about the use of medicines (drugs) is carried out by medical and pharmaceutical specialists. The lack of time for consulting, the complexity of terminology, possible drug interactions, the occurrence of unwanted side effects lead to misunderstanding and the risk of complications during a patient's disease. Sociological research data reflect a rather high prevalence of self-medication processes among the population in the Russian Federation. Low medical literacy of the population, the desire to self-medicate in difficult cases aggravate the economic inefficiency of the healthcare system. The situation of using plant-based medicines as self-medication means, affordable and useful, in the opinion of consumers, who do not always critically evaluate various information about medicines in the media, is considered. The necessity of increasing the knowledge of pharmaceutical specialists about plant-based medicines for timely and high-quality consulting of consumers of this popular group of products is shown. There are some known gaps in the legislation regarding the provision of patient consulting that need to be adjusted. The possibility of increasing the medical literacy of the population, the safe use of drugs can be realized with the further strengthening and improvement of the algorithms for conducting pharmaceutical consulting by pharmacy specialists, creating conditions for a longer and specialized communication with patients.
