Abstract

Background : This questionnaire survey was performed to clarify the present status and especially the problems with dispensing herbal medicines and counseling patients.<br>Objectives : To survey 15 pharmacies approved under the National Health Insurance System to dispense herbal medicines prescribed by Department of Japanese Oriental (Kampo) Medicine, Chiba University Hospital.<br>Results : Twelve pharmacies responded that \1,900, the present fee allowed for dispensing herbal medicines, was low. The time for dispensing herbal medicine via an automatic packaging machine was half of that dispensed by humans. Many pharmacies requested a re-evaluation of the fee based on the length of a prescription and the number of herbs in a formula, and requested a re-evaluation of the drug price standards. About half of the pharmacists surveyed also had a poor knowledge of herbal medicines.<br>Conclusion : We suggest that economical aspects of dispensing herbal medicine should be improved to secure more insurance pharmacies which can dispense herbal medicines. There is also a need to construct education systems for pregraduate and postgraduate university students in order to train pharmacists who will have a thorough knowledge of Kampo Medicine.
