Three months after, the patients came back to the consultation and the pharmacist repeated the same procedure to detect any possible change after the intervention.

Results:

The average of punctuation is higher in the second appointment (49.09) in respect to the first one (46.45), this is a significant difference with a p<0.05. The quality of life was the same in both appointments and the errors average in the usage of inhalators in the second appointment decreased (1773) significantly in respect to the errors average in the first appointment (4727).

Conclusion:
