dc.description.abstractRecently, new regulations were implemented to comply with health policies of European Union and World Health Organization, and to reduce health care cost in our country. These regulations were affected negatively pharmacy economies. Pharmacists had to struggle with numerous external factors to sustain their businesses. This study was conducted by face-to-face survey of 30 questions to 131 volunteer pharmacies in Izmir to identify pharmacists’ opinions about effect levels of external factors on community pharmacy economies such as similar product sellers, media, consumer features, Social Security Institution and government policies. Data were evaluated by frequency, percentage distribution and chi-square test using SPSS18 Package Program. According to pharmacists, the most important buyer is Social Security Institution(82.4%) and the most important external factor affecting sale of prescription drugs is health and drug policies(96.2%). However, nearly all pharmacists(97%) think that there is an increase for non-pharmaceutical products in the last few years due to decreased gain from drugs. Thus, it was increased the level of being affected of pharmacy economies by external factors. Advertisements(38.9%) and consumer features(33.6%) were identified as major external factors that affect sale of over-the-counter products. It was identified that 88.5% of pharmacists think that it is necessary to make regulations to support community pharmacy economies in health-drug policies by government for contribution of pharmacists to community health by reducing these external factors. Therefore, practices such as selling effective products for community health only at pharmacies and awareness of consumers, etc. should be implemented immediately. © 2017, Marmara University.
