The objective of this study was to analyze the qualitative intervention of critical care pharmacists (CCP) in critically ill patients¡¯ effective medication management.

All the provided suggestions of CCP were categorized into- A (drug-drug interaction), B (addition of new drug therapies), C (rational dosing of antibiotics), D (acceleration or deceleration of the doses) and E (adverse drug reaction).
