[The role of the pharmacist in the educational charge of the asthmatic patient].
The problem of educative charge of the asthmatic patient has mobilised general physicians, specialists and kinesitherapists for many years. The first mutual aid associations for asthmatic patients, created at the initiative of pneumologists and allergists or their patients date back for a score or so of years and their principal objectives are the adaption of educational measures, in transmission of clear information and in the loan of surveillance equipment, to ensure that inhalation equipment is adapted appropriately to the case. Since, the mediatisation has reinforced this action in all directions, in the interests of and for the great benefit of asthmatic patients; and so the role of the pharmacist has also become essential not only in the field of information but also in that of control of the self-evaluation of the patient; three inseparable aspects are thus emphasized: information aspect, technical aspect, initiation of surveillance of the illness.
