*Objective: The objective of this study is to assess the performance of community pharmacist towards antidiabetic and antiasthma prescriptions, and also to assess the lack of information provided by community pharmacists regarding patient counseling and missing data, using a simulated patient technique. Methods: A prescription including antidiabetic and antiasthma drugs was used by simulated patient to assess community pharmacist's performance in 194 pharmacies. A performance assessment sheet was used to measure the patient counseling process. A quantitative descriptive and comparative analysis was done for the collected data. Pearson chi-square test (crosstabs) was used with a level of significance 95%). Results: The analysis of the 194 pharmacies visited revealed that most of the pharmacists were male (61%), Arabs (35%) and Indians (55%) with some other nationalities. The dispensing time in the pharmacy ranged between 2 to 10 minutes. Spending time with patients was not affected by gender (p-value 0.087), slightly affected by nationality (p-value 0.04), and highly affected by age (p-value 0.002) leaning towards older pharmacists who spent more time with patients than younger pharmacists. Most pharmacists (90%) started preparing the prescription once they received the prescription with no actual prescription screening. fifty five percent of the pharmacists asked about the duration of the treatment after preparing the prescription. ninety six percent did not counsel patients about diet, exercise and lifestyle changes. Less than 40% asked if the prescription was intended to be used for the same patient. EVALUACIÓN DEL COMPORTAMIENTO DE LOS FARMACEUTICOS COMUNITARIOS ANTE UNA PRESCRIPCIÓN DE ANTIDIABÉTICOS Y ANTIASMÁTICOS RESUMENObjetivo: El objetivo de este estudio es evaluar la actuación de los farmacéuticos comunitarios ante una prescripción de antidiabéticos y antiasmáticos, así como evaluar la falta de información proporcionada por los farmacéuticos comunitarios en relación al consejo a paciente y datos omitidos, utiizando una técnica de paciente simulado. Métodos: Un paciente simulado utilizó una receta que incluía medicamentos antidiabéticos y antiasmáticos para evaluar la actuación de los farmacéuticos comunitarios en 194 farmacias. Para medir el proceso de aconsejamiento del paciente, se utilizó una hoja de control de actuación. Con los datos recogidos se realizó un análisis descriptivo cuantitativo. Se utilizaron pruebas chi-cuadrado de Pearson (crosstabs) con un nivel e significación del 95%. Resultados: El análisis de las 194 farmacias visitadas reveló que la mayoría e los farmacéuticos eran hombres (61%), árabes (35%) e Indios (55%) con algunas otras nacionalidades.

Future study designs may require larger sample size and measure outcomes that better assess disease severity in asthma, such as impairment and risk domains. This review supports the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institutes of the National Institutes of Health Expert Panel Report 3 guidelines in recognizing pharmacists as accessible healthcare practitioners who, via patient education and medication management, may help patients with asthma attain better control of their disease state.
