Abstract (EN): Publishing of the Consensus on Pharmaceutical Care has clarified the terms Active Dispensing, Pharmacist Consultation, and Drug Therapy Follow-up, being described as the fundamental services within that Pharmaceutical Care. On treating to put into practice the general guidelines established on this Consensus, some errors due to the lack of conceptual development, frequently related to the concept of drug-related problems (DRP) may appear. The aim of the present study is to analyze differences existing between two of the three mentioned services: Follow-up and Dispensing, being supported by the differences existing between the concepts of process and outcomes resulting from the SPO (structure-process-outcomes) paradigm.
