Abstract
Background: Pharmacy is a valuable local resource that provides not only medication counseling in the usual sense, but also counseling on narcotics and drug addiction. Methods: As a member of the GyeongGi Pharmaceutical Association, 46 ‘Magmi Pharmacies’ were selected to participate in the pilot project centering on pharmacies that share the common awareness on safe and correct use of legal narcotic drugs. The project was carried out for two months from October 2020, and an 8-item questionnaire was surveyed to local residents who received the service. Results: We distributed promotional materials and brochures on drug abuse and addiction and the Magmi Pharmacy project to more than 10,000 local residents. We also performed detailed information provision and counseling service on a total of 325 medications. Narcotic drugs accounted for most of the drug counseling with 264 cases (2 narcotics, 262 psychotropic drugs), as well as 26 non-narcotic prescription drugs and 35 over-the-counter drugs. When local residents were surveyed, the need for Magmi Pharmacy service and satisfaction with the counseling service were high regardless of gender, age, and occupation. The overall service was satisfactory, such as the expertise of the information obtained, and the reinforcement of the motivation to change through the service. Conclusion: In order for pharmacies to function as a community drug counseling center, pharmacists must not only remain as experts in drugs, but also develop competence as ‘counselors’ so that they can intervene in psychological and behavioral therapy as well as drug counseling. The Magmi Pharmacy project demonstrated that pharmacies have considerable potential and role as local drug addiction counseling centers that can reinforce the correct use of drugs and prevention of drug misuse, ultimately contributing to public health promotion through an integrated drug counseling process.
