About
Prescription Audit and Drug Interaction Review
Course Introduction
About this course
Prescription Audit and Drug Interaction Review are essential components of modern pharmacy practice aimed at ensuring safe, rational, and effective medication use. Prescription auditing involves the systematic evaluation of prescriptions to verify accuracy, appropriateness, completeness, and compliance with clinical guidelines and regulatory standards. Drug interaction review focuses on identifying potential interactions between medications, foods, or diseases that may alter therapeutic outcomes or increase the risk of adverse effects. This course introduces learners to the principles, tools, and clinical approaches used by pharmacists to evaluate prescriptions, detect medication-related problems, and promote patient safety in both community and hospital pharmacy settings.
Prescription audit and drug interaction review are foundational pharmacy practices that turn dispensing into a clinically safe, evidence-aligned process — directly preventing medication errors and adverse drug events at the point of care.
This course builds working competence in prescription audit and drug interaction review — covering audit methodology, interaction screening tools, clinical relevance grading, and the documentation discipline that anchors patient-safety improvements.
🎯 Built for clinical readiness. Concise, structured, and skill-focused — designed to translate directly into safer, more confident clinical practice.
