Description
Pengyu Zhao and Shuai Geng pool studies on pharmacist care in China amid a shift from dispensing to patient care in a 2026 meta-analysis. Searches ran across eight databases to April 2026 for trials and comparison studies of pharmacist work such as prescription review and counselling. Bias was checked with standard tools.
In total, 32 studies entered the pool, with only 5 randomised trials among them. Pharmacist input linked to more single-drug antibiotic use and more sound prescriptions, and to fewer irrational prescriptions in the reported odds values. Spread between studies was wide, which limits exactness. The authors call the gains promising but early, and urge strong trials with patient-centred outcomes.
