Association of Community Pharmacists of India – In Patient Health Care
It is my great privilege to introduce you about ACPI (Association of Community Pharmacists of India) and work ACPI doing in patient health care . ACPI was recently launched by Manipal College of Pharmaceutical Sciences under the guidance of Prof. Anantha Naik Nagappa (President) and Dr. N.Udupa (Principle of Manipal College of Pharmaceutical Sciences). The main motive of ACPI is building the reputation of pharmacists by serving the society or community in health care.
In developing countries such as India, the major reason of patient incompliance is lack of drug information to the patients regarding to drug administration, precautions, dose and contraindications of the drugs. ACPI is now going to start Drug Information center, by this patients can inquire about drug and its mode administration at any time round the clock.
