Background: After the separation of prescribing and dispensing in Korea, the stagnancy of business activities for the nonprescription drugs has been continued for 10years. Objectives: The aims for this study were to evaluate and clarify the current opinions of the pharmacists for the recognition level on nonprescription drugs.
Methods: A 14-questionquestionnaire was developed and pilot tested. For 17 days of survey by on-line, it was carried out on 284 pharmacists working at the community pharmacies on a national scale.
Results: Most of pharmacists have broadly positive mind that nonprescription drugs are helpful for their pharmacy management. But they think that more information and education would be needed.
Conclusion: To activate the market of the nonprescription drugs, the most important thing is to make good reciprocal relationships between the comunity pharmacists and the pharmaceutical companies.
