The goal of pharmaceutical care is to optimize the patient's health-related quality of life, and achieve positive clinical outcomes, within realistic economic expenditures. Now it is a necessary element of healthcare system. Pharmaceutical care concepts difficulties included lack of cooperation between the health care professionals, lack of pharmaceutical care-related education and lack of awareness of the concept.
