Pharmacist intervention on the use of activated vitamin D was effective and resulted in a cost saving of up to RM400 616.80 ($111 282.40) annually. Prescribers in the UMMC are now aware of the guidelines and justifications for the use of activated vitamin D. Therefore, the implementation of the guidelines to reduce the inappropriate use of medications is a multidisciplinary effort between pharmacists and prescribers.
