Abstract :
The term Good Pharmacy Practice (GPP)
encompasses all related activities including the supply
of medication and other health products, the provision
of health information and advice for the patient, and
patient health outcomes. The Federation International
Farmaceutique (FIP) final guidelines defined GPP as
“the practice of pharmacy that responds to the needs of
the people who use the pharmacists’ services to provide
optimal, evidence-based care [1].
The practice of pharmacy is regulated by
legislation forming the bases for the further
development of the profession by the law of that
particular land. The aim of this review is to present
data-based articles about the basic concepts, principles
and activities of Good Pharmacy Practice (GPP), in
ASEAN countries with the emphasis on the context of
professional practice (Health Care System, Pharmacy
Practice, and Pharmacy Education). The Federation
International Farmaceutique (FIP) promotes the
principles and activities of GPP, and based on its
recommendations, it is necessary that every national
pharmaceutical association should adopt its own GPP
standards that would serve as guide for their practice.
Presented also in this review are the context of
professional practice (Health Care System, Pharmacy
Practice, and Pharmacy Education); good pharmacy
practice settings that include: Rational use of medicines
(RUM); Pharmaceutical care services where
pharmacists are involved and function according to
their mandate. Importantly, this paper presents that
every pharmacist, should acquire and fulfill the GPP
Standards, in order to give full professional and
personal contribution to the improvement of service
quality and health promotion in their respective areas
in ASEAN countries.
