Pharmacy Practice Guidelines (PPGs) serve as essential tools for standardizing pharmaceutical care and improving patient outcomes. This paper reviews the implementation and impact of PPGs in healthcare settings, with a focus on challenges, strategies, and outcomes associated with guideline adherence. The study examines case studies from community pharmacies and hospitals in India, highlighting successful implementations and lessons learned. Additionally, future directions, recommendations, and policy implications for advancing PPGs are discussed. By synthesizing existing literature and case studies, this paper provides insights into the role of PPGs in enhancing pharmacy practice and patient care.
