OBJECTIVE Using clinical medication reviews, analyze the most pharmaceuticals intervention generating treatments and the problems associated. METHODS Analysis of activity reports made by 6th year pharmaceutical students from the University of Bordeaux, class of 2017-2018 Results: 76% of clinical medication review have detected at least one drug related problem in the population of this study. Drug classes that most frequently lead to pharmaceutical interventions are nervous system drugs, alimentary tract and metabolisma drugs and cardiovascular system drugs. The most frequent drug related problems are an unjustified prescription, a contraindication or a non-compliance with the standards of care and posology issues. CONCLUSIONS The most at risk and pharmaceutical intervention generating drugs in this study are the same as described in the international literature. This shows that more precautions must be taken for their use in the elderly. Furthermore, this new pharmaceutical service is an efficient way to detect them.
