Background Search engines often serve as a primary resource for patients to obtain drug information. However, the search engine market is rapidly changing due introduction of artificial intelligence (AI)-powered chatbots. The consequences medication safety when interact with chatbots remain largely unexplored. Objective To explore quality and potential concerns answers provided by an AI-powered chatbot integrated within engine. Methodology Bing copilot was queried on 10 frequently asked patient questions regarding 50 most prescribed drugs in US outpatient market. Patient covered indications, mechanisms action, instructions use, adverse reactions contraindications. Readability assessed using Flesch Reading Ease Score. Completeness accuracy were evaluated based corresponding information pharmaceutical encyclopaedia drugs.com. On preselected subset inaccurate answers, healthcare professionals likelihood extent possible harm if follow chatbot’s given recommendations. Results Of 500 generated overall readability implied that responses difficult read according Overall median completeness 100.0% (IQR 50.0–100.0%) 88.1–100.0%), respectively. 20 experts found 66% (95% CI 50% 85%) be potentially harmful. 42% 25% 60%) these cause moderate mild harm, 22% 10% 40%) severe or even death advice. Conclusions are capable providing complete accurate Yet, deemed considerable number incorrect Furthermore, complexity may limit understanding. Hence, should cautious recommending until more precise reliable alternatives available.

Artificial Intelligence (AI), especially ChatGPT, is rapidly assimilating into healthcare, providing significant advantages in pharmacy practice, such as improved clinical decision-making, patient counselling, and drug information management. The adoption of AI tools heavily contingent upon practitioners' knowledge, attitudes, practices (KAP). This study sought to evaluate the knowledge pharmacists Saudi Arabia concerning utilization ChatGPT their daily activities. A cross-sectional was performed from May 2023 July 2024 including Riyadh, Arabia. An online pre-validated KAP questionnaire disseminated, collecting data on demographics, about ChatGPT. Descriptive statistics regression analyses were conducted using SPSS. Of 1022 respondents, 78.7% familiar with pharmacy, while 90.1% correctly identified an advanced chatbot. Positive attitudes towards reported by 64.1% pharmacists, although only 24.3% used regularly. Significant predictors positive included academic/research roles (β=0.7, p=0.005) 6-10 years experience (β=0.9, p=0.05). Ethical concerns raised 64% 92% a lack formal training. While majority held toward practical implementation remains limited due ethical inadequate Addressing these barriers essential for successful integration supporting Arabia's Vision 2030 initiative.

Abstract Medication-related harm has a significant impact on global healthcare costs and patient outcomes. Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) large language models (LLM) have emerged as promising tool in mitigating risks of medication-related harm. This review evaluates the scope effectiveness GenAI LLM reducing We screened 4 databases for literature published from 1st January 2012 to 15th October 2024. A total 3988 articles were identified, 30 met criteria inclusion into final review. AI LLMs applied three key applications: drug-drug interaction identification prediction, clinical decision support, pharmacovigilance. While performance utility these varied, they generally showed promise early identification, classification adverse drug events, supporting decision-making medication management.
