BACKGROUND For patients with chronic diseases requiring long-term use of medications who are quarantined at home, the management of medication therapy during the COVID-19 epidemic is a problem that pharmacists urgently need to discuss and solve. OBJECTIVE To establish an online pharmacy consulting service model and to launch the application of tele-pharmacy services during the COVID-19 epidemic. METHODS To establish a remote pharmaceutical service model based on a medication consultation service platform under the official account of the "Beijing Pharmacists Association" on the social software WeChat app, obtain the medication consultation records from February 28 to March 27, 2020, and perform a statistical analysis of the information about the patients seeking consultation, consultation process, content and follow-up results. RESULTS The medication consultation service system and tele-pharmacy service model based on social software were established in February 2020. The "Cloud Pharmacy Care" platform had 915 views and 43 followers and completed 13 counselling cases in the first month. Counselling was available for patients of all ages; of the 13 cases, 61.54% of patients were young and middle-aged. During the COVID-19 epidemic, the long-term medication usage problems of patients with chronic disease were effectively addressed using "Cloud Pharmacy Care". In the consultation, 11 cases (84.6%) were related to the use of medicines or health products, and 2 cases (15.4%) involved disease state management and the use of supplements. The top five drug-related issues included the dosage of drugs, medication therapy management of chronic diseases, the selection of medications, adverse drug reactions and medications for special populations. All consultations were completed within 4 hours, with a positive review rate of 91.7%. CONCLUSIONS During the COVID-19 epidemic, a remote pharmacy service "Cloud Pharmacy Care" based on the social software WeChat app was quickly constructed and applied to solve the medication-related problems of patients and the public during home quarantining. This timely and interactive consultation mode helps to carry out medication therapy management for chronically ill patients and improves patients' medication compliance, improves medical quality and plays a positive role in promoting the popularization of safe medication knowledge.
