چکیده مقاله:

In this issue of the International Journal of MedicalReviews, Tofighi et al. [1] have a comparative study of thepricing of pharmaceutical agents in Iran in a globalperspective. We saw this issue interesting, and prepared thiseditorial on the importance of implementation of a newnational system of surveillance for pharmaceuticaladministration and use; which we believe is of extremeimportance. An author of this paper recalls “Once I hadattended a pharmacy to take some meds for my mother, andwhile I was in the line, I saw a villager woman with her childasking the man at the table ‘Give me some ‘Amoxiclav’ formy sinusitis.’ I thought he would ask for a doctor’s note, buthe simply went to the shelves and came back with a box ofco-amoxiclav and with his half-closed eyes, he asked for theprice. But the woman protested ‘It is too much expensive!What about co-trimoxazole?’ And they had some debate,and finally were mutually satisfied on amoxicillin. Whenmy order came, I gave my note to a woman at the table, andshe went and brought some tablets. When I checked thecontents, I found that she made a mistake by bringingdiphenhydramine tablets instead of dimenhydrinate. It wasvery strange to me, because unlike most fellows who usedto have not a well readable handwriting in their notes, myhandwriting was too much clear, with every single characterwell noted. I told her about the mistake; but she took a lookat the note and said very confidently ‘OH, the mistake isfrom the doctor!’”
