Abstract

Medical services and care for patients today are increasingly liberalized and relying on awareness and active participation of the patient. But problems with the spelling and the correct allocation of prescription drugs remain. Many countries have introduced electronic prescriptions, which reduces the possibility of error to a minimum. In Bulgaria such a project is currently in progress.

Will focus primarily on the problems at discharge and dispensing of medicines prescribed on regular (`white`) form - Ordinance № 4, Official Gazette No. 3, year LV, Annex 2 to Article 6, paragraph 1.

The recipe is an official document with medical, legal and financial burden. We put emphasis on the responsibility that the pharmacist is often forced to take, performing incorrectly or illegibly written forms for humane reasons and not for financial reasons, as suspected.

Training of medical professionals about the rules of prescription and dispensing of prescription drugs is subject to improvement. In this regard, the project `Updating the curricula of the Faculty of Pharmacy at the Medical University Varna in accordance with the needs of the pharmaceutical business and the requirements of the labor market` is absolutely necessary.

Paying attention to this aspect of the work will improve the performance of pharmaceutical care in pharmacies and reduce the possibility of the occurrence of errors.
