University Community Pharmacy
As a Health Support Pharmacy Supporting the Community
The Keio University Faculty of Pharmacy University Community Pharmacy opened in April 2001 as the first on-campus university pharmacy in Japan. As a University Community Pharmacy located on campus, it fulfills three important roles: a place for practical education and clinical research for students, and a health support pharmacy that contributes to the local community.

Facility Introduction
Waiting Room
Consultations Regarding Medication are Always Welcome
The counters use wood and other materials to create a warm atmosphere. Partitions are installed at the medication delivery points to ensure patient privacy. In a relaxed atmosphere, pharmacists provide easy-to-understand explanations about prescribed medications and OTC drugs. We also welcome consultations regarding medication, health, and nursing care at any time.
Would You Like to Measure Your Blood Pressure or Body Fat?
Blood pressure monitors and body fat scales are available. We welcome those who wish to use them for measurement only, not just for medication. Please feel free to stop by.
Dispensing Room
Experienced Pharmacists and Cutting-Edge Dispensing Equipment
In addition to accurate and meticulous dispensing by experienced pharmacists, we have introduced a computerized dispensing audit system to prevent dispensing errors and check for drug interactions, ensuring patient safety. To ensure that patients take their medication correctly according to the requests of doctors and patients, we use the latest automatic tablet packaging machines for single-dose packaging of tablets and capsules. We also have an automatic packaging machine specifically for Kampo decoctions, allowing us to handle prescriptions for Kampo medicine.
Sterile Preparation Room
Support for Sterile Preparations such as High-Calorie Infusions
As part of our support for home medical care, we handle the preparation of sterile products such as injections and high-calorie infusions. Of the 60,000 pharmacies nationwide, only about 2% have sterile rooms. Therefore, we implement joint use where neighboring pharmacies can utilize our sterile room to support community medicine.
Home Visit Pharmaceutical Management Services
Pharmacists visit patients' homes to manage medications and provide consultations. We also use medication calendars and pill cases to prevent missed doses or mistakes. For patients who still find medication management difficult, we may use medication support robots. The robot notifies the patient of the medication time and dispenses a single dose of medicine.
