Description

A variety of medicines, such as digestive medicines in addition to psychotropic drugs including anxiolytics, antidepressants, hypnotics, antipsychotropic drugs and mania state medical treatment agents may be prescribed to the patients with eating disorder. We observed from the pharmacist's view "Regarding the anxiety about medicine" in the pediatric patients with eating disorder through pharmaceutical care, and examined the role of the pharmacist as a member of therapeutic team for eating disorder. Very important roles of the pharmacist are as in the following: 1. Finding out complaints about medicines by listening to patients 2. Informing patients of "mutual understanding of the anxiety about medicine". 3. Making patients aware of "a pharmacist is always with you" and creating an environment under which patients can take medicines despite anxiety. These trials are good factors to strengthen their ability for self-expression.
