Awareness of Lebanese Pharmacists towards the Use and Misuse of Gabapentinoids and Tramadol: A Cross-sectional Survey

Abstract

Pharmacists serve as an essential part of our healthcare system. The role of community pharmacists has recently evolved, beyond dispensing medication, toward the enhancement of patient care and pharmacist–patient interaction. Their knowledge of patients’ medical history and thus, identifying drug interactions and dosing schedules, plays an important role in limiting dangerous and fatal drug interactions. Pharmacists taking this path promise to consider the interest toward their patients and community, by applying knowledge, experience, and skills to provide the best outcomes for patients [1].
