Since 2018, French community pharmacists are involved in pharmaceutical care program performing medication review (MR). Near graduated pharmacy students from two faculties of pharmacy were assigned to implement and perform 3 MR in order to identify enablers and barriers of the implementation of MR by community pharmacists. Among 179 MR performed by 117 pharmacists during 5 months, they reported 3 main barriers: the time spending to initiate and perform all steps in MR (lack of time), patients recruiting, and compensation by health care system. Communications initiatives to patients and health professionals in primary care could facilitate patient MR adhesion. Simplification of administrative approach and optimization of software will be welcome and useful in order to reinforced MR implementation and leading.
