Background: The primary objective is to investigate medication errors, and emphasize the role of
clinical pharmacists in minimizing these errors. The secondary objectives included examining
prevalent comorbidities in diabetic patients, identifying commonly prescribed medications, and to
assess patients’ and caregivers’ perception on polypharmacy and deprescribing using a revised
Patients’ Attitudes Towards Deprescribing (rPATD) questionnaire. Method: A prospective crosssectional questionnaire-based study involving 164 type 2 diabetes patients with comorbidities was
conducted over six months in a private healthcare setting.
