Background: <\/b>Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a devastating pandemic that affects about 1.5 million people in\u00a0Nigeria. Antiretroviral therapy (ART) while having a positive impact on quality of life is associated with drug therapy\u00a0<\/span>problems (DTPs).<\/span><\/p>

Objectives:<\/b> To determine the number and types of DTPs; and outcomes of therapy in HIV patients in Zaria, Nigeria.<\/p>

Methods: <\/b>210 consenting HIV patients in ABUTH who started ART in the year 2012 and met inclusion criteria were\u00a0enrolled. They were interviewed and structured questionnaires filled. DTP Reporting Form V5.01 (PCNE\u00a0<\/span>Classification 2006) was filled by the researcher.<\/span><\/p>

Result:<\/b> A total of 1,260 prescriptions were reviewed. In these, 308 DTPs were found and classified into 9 categories;\u00a0the most common was \u201cno drug but clear indication\u201d (27.92%) and the least common DTP was \u201cwrong drug\u00a0<\/span>administered\u201d (0.32%). Other DTPs included \u201cinappropriate adherence\u201d (12.01%), \u201cadverse drug reactions\u201d\u00a0<\/span>(13.96%), and \u201cinappropriate drug\u201d (23.38%). Each DTP resulted from 1 to 3 causes. Manifested side effect was\u00a0<\/span>responsible for majority of the DTPs (30.84%). Pharmacist interventions were 419 categorised into 8, the most\u00a0<\/span>+\u00a0<\/span>common being patient medication counselling. Most DTPs were eventually solved. Weights, CD4 count and viral\u00a0<\/span>load improved after more than 6 months on ART.<\/span><\/p>

Conclusion:<\/b> The outcomes of therapy were good. Most of the DTPs were totally solved. Many DTPs were discovered\u00a0by the pharmacist and this shows the great importance of the role a pharmacist plays through pharmaceutical care.<\/span><\/p>
