Objective: To explore the clinical value of clinical pharmacists’ medication management in promoting the rational use of pediatric drugs. Methods: A total of 213 children who were hospitalized in the Western Theater General Hospital from July 2019 to December 2020 were selected and randomized into control group and study group. The control group (105 cases) were administered conventional medication management

and the study group (108 cases) were administered the whole process of medication by clinical pharmacists. The irrational medication use (irrational usage and dosage unreasonable drug

unreasonable selection

repeated dosing

and over-indication medication)

antimicrobial use ( type of antimicrobial use

medication time

medication costs and types of antibacterial drug combination)

and medication satisfaction were compared between the two groups. Results: The incidence of irrational usage and dosage (1. 85%)

unreasonable drug selection (0. 93%)

repeated administration (0. 93%)

and the over-indication drug use (1. 85%) was lower than those of the control group (9. 52%

8. 57%

10. 48%

10. 48%)

with a statistically significant difference (P<0. 05). The types of used antibacterial drugs

medication time

medication costs and types of antibacterial drug combination in the study group were lower than those of the control group

and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0. 05). The overall satisfaction rate of patients in the observation group (98. 15%) was higher than that of the control group (87. 62%)

and the difference was statistically significant (P<0. 05). The total incidence of adverse reactions in the study group was 3. 70%

which was lower than 20. 95% in the control group

and the difference was statistically significant (P<0. 05). The medication compliance rate in the study group was 87. 96%

which was significantly higher than that in the control group (75. 24%)

and the difference was statistically significant (P<0. 05). Conclusion: The clinical pharmacist’s medication management is helpful to improve the rationality of pediatric medication

increase medication satisfaction

reduce the incidence of adverse drug reactions

and improve the medication compliance of children

with important guiding significance.
