Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for further promoting the clinical application of chronopharmacology and rational drug use.METHODS:The self-designed questionnairea was used to conduct on-site investigation among participants from 40 hospitals in Anhui province by dint of a meeting.The survey data were analyzed statistically.RESULTS:Totally 170 questionnaires were distributed,and 166 were retrieved,the total response rate was 97.65%.93.37% of the interviewed pharmacists were aware of the circadian rhythms,and 87.35% were aware of the circadian rhythms of more than two kinds;interviewed pharmacists expressed better awareness of indicators like gastric acid secretion (75.30%),blood pressure (67.47%) and growth hormone (66.87%) etc.while their awareness of other diseases like anaphylactic rhinitis (66.87%),gastric ulcer (50.60%) and migraine (50.00%) remained to improve.All the interviewed pharmacists recognized the better therapeutic efficacy (84.34%) and lower side effect (81.33%) of chronopharmacology-referred medication;chronopharmacology characteristics of glucocorticoid drugs were best known (34.34%),followed by antihypertensive drugs (25.30%).CONCLUSIONS:Pharmacists in Anhui province have certain knowledge of chronopharmacology such as biological rhythms,biological process or indicators,biological rhythms of disease and advantage of chronopharmacology-referred medication.It indicates that there has been a foundation for popularizing the concept of chronopharmacology in clinical medication in China;but not often contacted physiological processes or indexes,the understanding of biological rhythm of uncommon diseases are still insufficient,and the understanding of chronopharmacology characteristics of various drugs are far from ideal.
