摘要

臺灣自日據時期舉辦藥業訓練班，養成「藥種商」開始，光復後為遷就現狀，允許存在的藥商達九種之多，乃形成以後藥業複雜紊亂的主要原因。本調查顯示臺北市每1,085人即有一家西藥商，但已沒有無照藥商，多數西藥商之資本組織，設備及管理狀況多不健全，雖按規定聘請藥師，但多不駐店管理。參加公會之藥師中，實際在藥局執業的僅為百分之二十二，顯然藥師已有過剩現象。由於小藥商太多，設備標準低，缺少完整進貨及售藥資料，且每日售藥最多為晚上，係衛生所稽查員下班時間，使藥政稽查困難。購藥者多為一般民眾（78%），購藥種類多為成藥（73%），但購藥者中有百分之八十二未看過藥師，持醫師處方購藥的也只有百分之四。

並列摘要

All of the complex problems of drug sale in Taiwan can be traced to the years of Japanese occupation. It was found in 1976 that there was one drug store for some 1,000 people in Taipei city. As a result, most of them were small and inadequate in capital, organization, facilities and management. Pharmacist was employed, but most of the stores did not require the pharmacist stay and work in the rstores, most of the stores were simply managed by family members.Only 22% of the members of the Taipei Pharmacist Association were connected with drug sale in Taipei. It is an obvious evidence of over production of the pharmacy schools.The drug inspection has not been effective mainly because of the low standard in capital, organization, facilities and management of the drug stores.Most of the drugs (96%) were sold over the counter without prescription and 82% of the buyers did not visit a doctor.
