Telepharmacy

Telepharmacy is a service model that utilizes telecommunications technology to provide pharmaceutical care to patients who may be geographically distant from a physical pharmacy. Through telepharmacy, pharmacists can conduct remote consultations, review and manage medication regimens, and offer expert advice on drug interactions and side effects using various digital platforms such as video calls, phone calls, and secure messaging. This approach bridges the gap between patients and pharmacy services, ensuring that individuals in rural or underserved areas receive timely and effective pharmaceutical care. Telepharmacy enhances accessibility, improves medication adherence, and supports patient safety by making expert pharmaceutical support available without the need for physical proximity. This model is increasingly important in expanding healthcare access and optimizing medication management.
