Overview

Randomized controlled trial improved adherence to antibiotics in lower respiratory infections, indicating pharmacist-led education enhances awareness.

Key Points

  • Adherence to antibacterial therapy significantly improved in the intervention group after pharmacist-led education.
  • Participants in the intervention group showed better awareness of antibiotic use, with a notable increase to 56.7%.
  • A randomized controlled trial assessed adherence and awareness over seven weeks, enhancing knowledge on antibiotic resistance.
  • Higher adherence was found among participants with better education, suggesting demographic factors impact therapy compliance.
