Our results showed high consumption of antibiotics by emergency department pediatricians which highlight the importance for interventions to promote rational and judicious prescribing. An insight into factors influencing antibiotics prescribing patterns by military prescribers is required.

The results of this study showed a significant reduction in the consumed quantities of drugs and therefore a reduction in cost of drug therapy. Such findings highlight the importance of the presence of Clinical Pharmacist in all Jordanian hospitals wards and units.

Objectives: To assess adherence, investigate reasons for non-adherence and describe tolerability of Mefloquine among Jordanian military personnel, who served in level II military hospital in Kinshasa for a six months period. Method:In 2011, 56 male military personnel agreed to complete an anonymous questionnaire which checked the degree of adherence, reasons for non-adherence, and both the frequency and severity of Mefloquine side effects. Participants were also asked if they received counselling about malaria and Mefloquine prior to departure. All participants were interviewed face-to-face to further investigate their experiences with Mefloquine. The Mefloquine weekly dosage was dispensed from the pharmacy to the public health inspector every Tuesday and then to the participants after lunch on that day.
