Joshi博士最近介绍了他在尼泊尔一所大学医院的药物信息部门（DIU）的有趣经历[1]。在这封信中，我们描述了我们的服务，并讨论了Dr. Joshi的服务是否存在实质性差异，Joshi的服务位于发展中国家，而我们的服务位于工业化国家。德国药品市场上约有2600种药物[2]，医生要熟悉私人执业或医院所使用的所有药物的有关细节，实在是不可能的。此外，收集药物治疗特定情况下所需的客观知识通常非常困难。提供这些信息是临床药理学的关键任务[3，4]。
Dr. Joshi recently presented his interesting experience with a drug information unit (DIU) at a university hospital in Nepal [1]. In this letter, we describe our service and discuss whether or not there are substantial differences between Dr. Joshi's service, which is based in a developing country, and ours which is located in an industrialized country.With about 2600 agents available on the German drug market [2], it is virtually impossible for physicians to be familiar with the relevant details of all drugs encountered in private practice or hospitals. Furthermore, to collect objective knowledge required in a specific situation of drug therapy is usually very difficult. It is a key task for clinical pharmacology [3, 4] to provide such information.
