The pattern of advice given and drugs dispensed at 75 Asian pharmacies in response to the presentation of a fictitious infant with diarrhoea were studied. Only 16 of the 75 pharmacies gave the appropriate advice--oral rehydration or consultation with a health worker. 19 of 25 pharmacies in Bangladesh, 16 of 25 in Sri Lanka, and 24 of 25 in Yemen Arab Republic dispensed drugs, with or without oral rehydration solution. Fixed-dose combinations of antibiotics and antidiarrhoeal drugs were common. The results are discussed in relation to national drug and diarrhoeal control policies. After further development of the method it might become a useful monitoring instrument.
对75家亚洲药店针对一名虚构的腹泻婴儿所给出的建议模式及配药情况进行了研究。75家药店中只有16家给出了适当建议——口服补液或咨询卫生工作者。孟加拉国25家药店中有19家、斯里兰卡25家中有16家、阿拉伯也门共和国25家中有24家配发了药物，有的还配有口服补液溶液。抗生素与止泻药的固定剂量组合很常见。结合国家药品和腹泻控制政策对研究结果进行了讨论。该方法经过进一步改进后可能会成为一种有用的监测工具。
