South African Pharmaceutical Journal: Volume 91, Number 5, September/October 2024

Introduction

This journal package grants pharmacists and healthcare professionals access to the September / October 2024 issue of the South African Pharmaceutical Journal, including a quiz to test knowledge gained and receive a certificate if completed successfully.

The journal provides specific clinical reviews on self-medication topics (symptomatic therapy), information on prescription medication (therapy in clinical context) and provides the pharmacists with essential information for referring customers for early medical attention should it be required. Pharmacovigilance – ensuring the safe and appropriate administration and use of medication and reporting of serious adverse events or other adverse drug reactions – is strongly advocated in SAPJ. The SAPJ further supports pharmacists to transform the pharmacy in an accessible, basic primary health care facility for preventing and treating PHC conditions through diagnosis, screening and treatment.
