Pharmacists assessment

• Past medical history
• He has no past medical history
• Past medication history
• starting from 24/3/15
• on prednisolone 2mg /kg/day 30mg po bid
• nifedipine 3mg/kg/day 30mg po tid
• Lasix 3mg/kg/day 30mg/kg/ iv tid

18
Identified Drug therapy problem

• Adverse Drug Event
• hydrochlorothiazide cyclophosphamide
• sulfamethoxazole heparin
• sulfamethoxazole increases effects of heparin by
  decreasing metabolism
• sulfamethoxazole increases effects of heparin by
  decreasing metabolism

19
Identified drug therapy problem
Medical condition DTP Responsible drug/condition Possible dtp Intervention Acceptance
NS Unnecessary drug therapy Mensa Avoid Cyclophosphamide use and change in to ACEI
NS HTN ADE Cyclophosphamide with HCT HCT increase toxicity of cyclophosphamide AVOID HCT
UIT hypercoagulation ADE sulfamethoxazole with heparin sulfamethoxazole increases effects of heparin Cotrimoxazole change into norfloxacin
20
Desired therapeutic outcome

• To improve sign and symptom
• Improve lab
• Improve quality of life
• Prevent complication of nephrotic syndrome and
  HTN
• Complete resolution of proteinuria
• Prevent relapse

21
Out come evaluation

• Protein urea
• GFR
• Creatinine level
• BP
• Edema
• Potassium level
• Urine output

22
Pharmaceutical care plan

• It is better to start ACEI like captopril
• Stop hydrochlorothiazide
• Stop cyclophosphamide and mesna
• change cotrimoxazole into ciprofloxacin or nor
  floxacillin

23
Patient education

• Salt striction until edema subside
• Take medication on time
• Announce caregiver to know the symptoms of
  nephrotic syndrome
• measure weight
• Measure urine output
