Sumario:BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to evaluate effect of an Educational intervention on the number Potential Drug-Drug Interactions in the Emergency Hospital. METHODS: The prevalence and structure of Major Drug-Drug Interactions at Emergency care Hospitals of Aktobe, Uralsk, Atyrau cities (Kazakhstan) were studied (pharmacoepidemiological, cross-sectional study). Educational interventions were developed and implemented to improve pharmacotherapy in the Cardiology Department of the Aktobe Emergency Hospital, followed by an assessment of their effect. RESULTS: The effect of educational interventions was revealed, which led to a significant decrease in the indicators of drug interactions of the Major Drug-Drug Interactions by 18.2% (OR: 0.45; 95% CI, 0.25-to-0.82) in the cardiological patients of the Emergency Care Hospital of Aktobe city compared to the Regional Cardiology Center of Uralsk. CONCLUSION: The implementation of educational pharmacotherapy programs decreased the number of clinically significant drug interactions in the Cardiology Department of Emergency Hospitals.
