Overview

Qualitative study assesses pharmacist awareness of vitamin D and calcium, suggesting training and awareness improvements are needed.

Key Points

  • Pharmacists showed mixed awareness of the benefits and side effects of calcium and vitamin D supplements, indicating gaps in knowledge.
  • Only about half of the pharmacists were knowledgeable about potential drug interactions with these supplements.
  • Semi-structured interviews were conducted with pharmacists in Islamabad and Rawalpindi, providing rich qualitative data.
  • Strengthening pharmacist training and public awareness may help address widespread micronutrient deficiencies in the community.
