Aim To evaluate the performance of ChatGPT in key areas of clinical pharmacy practice, including prescription review, patient medication education, adverse drug reaction (ADR) recognition, ADR causality assessment, and drug counseling. Methods Quantitative and qualitative analyses were conducted to assess the accuracy and quality of ChatGPT in comparison to those of the clinical pharmacist. Results The results indicate that ChatGPT is excellent in drug counseling and weak in prescription review, patient medication education, ADR recognition, and ADR causality. Conclusions While ChatGPT holds promise in clinical pharmacy practice as a supplementary tool, the ability of ChatGPT to handle complex problems needs further improvement and refinement.
