ROLE OF CLINICAL PHARMACIST IN TB MEDICAL ADHERENCE AND QUALITY OF LIFE

Abstract

The TB burden in this area was found to be moderate, despite several government initiatives and preventive measures. TB is one of the major causes of mortality globally. There were additional important risk factors. The majority of patients showed excellent adherence to their TB medications, and pharmacist counseling helped the remaining patients. This will aid in preventing the emergence of multidrug resistance brought on by non-adherence. The pharmacist must be aware of potential care needs and concerns while creating pharmaceutical care plans and developing strategies to deliver pharmaceutical care services for TB patients. As a result, the pharmacist can feel more assured about significantly enhancing the quality of life for their patients.
