OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of clinical pharmacist intervention on the rational use of Alanyl-glutamine injection. METHODS: Referring to package inserts of Alanyl-glutamine injection, Clinical Pharmacy Consensus of Parenteral Nutrition, ASPEN Nutrition Therapy Guidelines for Critically Ill Patients, related domestic and foreign literatures, evaluation criteria for Alanyl-glutamine injection rational use was formulated. After collecting Alanyl-glutamine injection cases (497 cases) in the second quarter of 2015 and those cases (385 cases) in the second quarter of 2016, rational use of Alanyl-glutamine injection were analyzed comparatively before and after intervention. RESULTS: The utilization rate and irrational rate of Alanyl-glutamine injection were 4.6% and 52.9% before intervention as well as 2.9% and 10.9% after intervention, with statistical significance (P<0.05). There was statistical significance in hyper-indication, excessive concentration of drug liquid, excessive supply of amino acid, irrational compatibility and solvent selection, long treatment course before and after intervention (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Clinical pharmacists reduce irrational rate of drug use and guarantee safe and effective drug use through formulating evaluation criteria for Alanyl-glutamine injection rational use and providing pharmaceutical intervention on rational use of Alanyl-glutamine injection.
