“…Most of them mainly discussed the facilitating or complicating factors in the implementation of PC programs in an attempt to clarify the pharmacist's role in health sciences. 23 In this sense, emphasis is given to the need for further development of qualitative studies on PCAs, considering that medicines, besides being commodities or chemotherapeutic agents, are objects that have economic, social and anthropological dimensions [24][25][26][27] and health is not a dichotomous state but a process in which health-disease-care are deeply related. [28][29][30][31] The use of qualitative methods together with quantitative methods for carrying out research on PCAs shall supplement what has been learned so far and expand society's vision toward a social recognition of pharmacists.…”

Aim To characterise systematic reviews and meta‐analyses on pharmacist care activities (PCAs) by means of bibliometric indicators. Data sources The MEDLINE, EMBASE and LILACS databases were consulted. Study selection Articles describing/evaluating PCAs in any setting (community, ambulatory or hospital) in which research design was a systematic review of the literature (SR) or a meta‐analysis (MA) were included. Results Of the 1180 publications retrieved from the search, 86 were included. The included papers were published between 1998 and 2014. SRs were the most frequent research design (84.9%). The most frequent settings were all‐care settings (n = 20, 23.3%), followed by community settings (n = 19, 22.1%). The most common target population included all types of population groups together (n = 53; 59.3%). None of the SR/MAs had a high quality level. The bibliometric analysis showed that the SR/MAs were carried out by an average of four authors (range 1–13) and 62.8% (54/86) of the analysed SR/MAs were written only by pharmacists. The USA and the UK were the most frequent authors’ countries of origin. The 86 SR/MAs were published in 49 journals, and the average impact factor was 1.172 (range: 5.827–0.109). Conclusions The results of this review evidenced the urgency of an agreement on a PCA classification aiming at equating results among different studies. It is necessary to establish the minimum quality criteria for conducting studies on PC. Finally, the results showed the need for further research on PC (i) using qualitative methods and (ii) studying the paediatric population.

It is obvious how important is the role of the physicians on drugs consumption. On account of their intermediary in the procurement and consumption of medicines, the prescriber is the main focus of manufacturers' promotional activities aiming at increasing sales and profits although these activities often are disguised as a means of education or information. Many reports have been issued emphasizing the influence of commercial sources upon the prescription. This text reviews two of them -advertisements in medical journals and the representatives- arriving to the conclusion that first ones display informations that are biased and incomplete while the representative in fact acts as a sales agent. The professional sources of information for prescribers are also described being evaluated how far-reaching the sources referred can be.
