Approximately three out of five patients had one or more drug therapy problems encountered. In this study, the most common types of drug therapy problems were non-compliance, needs additional drug therapy, and dosage too low. Family monthly income, age, comorbidities, and number of medications were the significant determinants of drug therapy problems. Therefore, patient education regarding medication adherence, routine medication review, and strengthening clinical pharmacy services should be promoted.
