Patient education and counselling

摘要

Patient education is an important role for pharmacists and pharmacy staff,who can confirm and add to information that patients have already received.Written information,in addition to verbal counselling,should be provided with all IB regimens.It should be emphasised that T6 can be cured but treatment can take many months and patients should take their medicines as prescribed,even if they feel better.The patient should be told what adverse effects to expect and when he or she needs to seek medical advice.
