Publication Open Access Determination of Potential Drug-Drug Interactions Using Various Software Programs in a Community Pharmacy Setting(2019-03-01T00:00:00Z) SANCAR, MESUT; Kasik, Aksa; OKUYAN, BETÜL; Batuhan, Sevda; Izzettin, FİKRET VEHBİ; İZZETTİN, FIKRET VEHBIObjectives: The aim of the present study was to compare various software programs in detecting potential drug-drug interactions in a community pharmacy setting. Materials and methods: Details of prescriptions were collected from 50 community pharmacies located in İstanbul in March and April 2015 (two days per week). From each pharmacy, the first 20 prescriptions that included more than one drug were collected to evaluate potential drug-drug interactions. The following software programs were utilized to detect potential drug-drug interactions: micromedexsolutions.com, medscape.com, and drugs.com. The number of potential interactions detected by the software programs was determined. Results: At least one potential drug-drug interaction was detected in 39.2% of the 1000 prescriptions by one of the software programs. According to the rates of total drug-drug interactions gathered from various software programs, these programs gave the following results: medscape.com 33.3%, drugs.com 31.3%, and micromedexsolutions.com 21.2%. Conclusion: After comparing different software programs, the potential drug-drug interactions found by the programs proved to be different. Therefore, we recommend that pharmacists confirm with a different program before making a decision when they detect clinically significant potential drug-drug interactions.Publication Open Access Evaluation of satisfaction and internet self-efficacy of inquirers using an internet-based drug information centre(2019-02-01T00:00:00Z) Izzettin, FİKRET VEHBİ; YILMAZ, ZAHİT; OKUYAN, BETÜL; SANCAR, MESUT; İZZETTİN, FIKRET VEHBIObjectives: This study aimed to evaluate the satisfaction level of inquirers of an internet-based drug information centre along with the internet usage abilities and habits of individuals who had previously utilised services from an internet-based drug information centre in Turkey.

The internet self-efficacy scale scores indicated the highest score on the decomposition subscale (20.94 ± 6.18) and the lowest on the communication subscale (9.77 ± 3.57). Conclusions: The present study revealed that the internet-based drug information service provided by clinical pharmacists contributed positively to users' satisfaction, thus indicating the importance of the involvement of clinical pharmacists in this process.Publication Open Access Adaptation of Chronic Kidney Disease-Self Management Knowledge Tool (CKD-SMKT) into Turkish(2021-09-01T00:00:00Z) Altiparmak, Oznur; İZZETTİN, Fikret Vehbi; OKUYAN, BETÜL; ARIKAN, İZZET HAKKI; SANCAR, MESUT; İZZETTİN, FIKRET VEHBIObjective: The aim of the study is adaptation of Chronic Kidney Disease-Self Management Tool (CKD-SMKT) into Turkish language.
