Abstract

Background: The study came because of the frequent randomization of antibiotics, and here we talked about azithromycin, which has many risks to human health and the immune system in the first place., Objective: Evolution how the pharmacist well information is sufficient about azithromycin Detection of Azithromycin exchange in a scientifically correct manner Identification the complications arising from indiscriminate use Determine patient awareness of the risk of using azithromycin at random. Methods: This study was conducted on pharmacists, where questions were distributed to him in the form of a questionnaire. The questions varied between the duration of treatment dispensing and its dispensing without a prescription and drug interactions, for example its interaction with heart medications such as digoxin and blood thinners such as warfarin, migraine medications such as ergotamin. The answers were collected, counted, and expressed by calculating the percentage ratio After collecting and analyzing the data. Results: we got the results we notice through the percentages of each answer to a question, for example, in the rate of exchange of azithromycin on a daily basis, 39% was the largest rate of exchange. Also, the average age of patients consuming this drug was 66% of different ages. The non-prescription drug order came at a rate of 79%. Also, the drug dispensing for migraine patients came at 62%. The drug was dispensed with anti-clotting drugs by 54%, and the drug was dispensed with drugs for heart muscle failure or for heart patients, 73.5%. Conclusions: From the results it was found that there is random dispensing and the absence of a healthy medical mechanism for administering antibiotics, and here we are talking about azithromycin. Therefore, it is necessary to legalize the use of the antibiotic azithromycin and study all drug information about it, and this leads to raising the health level of people and developing knowledge of pharmacists .
