Journal of Pharmacy Practice (JPP) is a peer-reviewed journal that offers practicing pharmacists in-depth useful reviews and research trials and surveys of new drugs and novel therapeutic approaches, pharmacotherapy reviews and controversies, pharmacokinetics, drug interactions, drug administration, adverse drug events, medication safety, pharmacy education, and other pharmacy practice topics. Several issues will be partially dedicated to a pharmacy practice theme such as medication therapy management or drug-induced diseases. Special sections include biomedical informatics reviews, cardiology key articles, and the New York State Council of Health-System Section.

Like the pharmacy profession, topics are diverse. Recent topics have included:

  • Anticoagulation—Treating Thrombosis in Selected Patient Populations
  • Anticoagulation—Dosing, Monitoring, and Adverse Drug Reactions
  • Immunology and Autoimmune Diseases
  • Infectious Diseases in the Critically III
  • Diabetes Management
  • Topics in Internal Medicine
  • Hepatitis
  • Hepatology
  • Cardiovascular Therapeutics
  • Rheumatology

    Each peer-reviewed issue assesses practice issues; practice settings; therapeutics issues; disease management; the latest research; current government, legal and regulatory issues; as well as issues arising from today’s topsy-turvy health-care environment. Each issue features a guest editor with particular expertise in the subject area.
