Ethical problems related to information and pharmaceutical care in Spain

Med Law. 2007 Mar;26(1):85-93.

Abstract

This paper represents a reflection on the limits and objectives of the information pharmacists should offer in pharmacies. The obligation of a pharmacist to follow the patient's therapeutic progress makes it necessary to integrate this figure into an ethical-legal framework and to define the objective of the health-related information offered, taking into account the patient's welfare and constitutional rights.
