Abstract：
:The pharmacist provides a vital role in the management of antibiotic policy. Consumers and payers demand quality care at a significantly reduced price. It is imperative that health care adapt to the times. Physicians must be involved in all phases of programmes that are viewed as cost saving. These programmes should integrate and document both clinical and financial aspects of care.
