To improve the quality of pharmaceutical services at hospitals’ pharmacies towards Good Pharmacy Practice, an interventional study was carried out on 1014 clients and 3030 prescriptions with two purposes: instructions, and surveillance of drug interactions in prescribing at Hospital No 115’s pharmacy and other 14 hospitals’ pharmacies in Ho Chi Minh City. The results showed that the rate of customers’ satisfactions with client instructions in intervention group was higher than that in control group (87.0% vs 80.4%); and doctors paid more attentions to drug interactions during prescribing (rate of drug interactions decreased from 12.1% before intervention to 9.7% after intervention). However, the rates of drug interaction wasn’t changed significantly before and after interventions)
