Abstract: Objective To discuss the service mode, contents of pharmaceutical care and the basic knowledge and skills that a clinical pharmacist should master by participating in treatment of visual impairment caused by voriconazole in a patient of multiple myeloma. Methods The case history, past medication and ongoing administration of the patient of multiple myeloma were systematically analyzed to find out the relationship between the adverse reaction and the combined medication. Then rational advice was given according to the pharmacological characteristics and drug concentration of voriconazole. Results The physician accepted the advice and reduced the dose of omeprazole for less suppression of hepatic drug metabolizing enzyme and fewer disturbances on dose of voriconazole. Ten days later visual impairment of the patient was improved. Conclusion Clinical pharmacists should be good at flexibly using pharmacological knowledge, evaluating the effects and risks of medication and planning for pharmaceutical care to reduce or avoid subsequent drug impairment.
